jack river - fools gold (studio-2018) okay, I just ran through her whole catalog ...

while I was assembling some new audio furniture ... and this young aussie lady is awesome!

i won't lie, she rips off old melodies right and left, but they're melodies you love ... everything from neil young (the album is called sugar mountain ffs and she covers the song, and it's cool) to pretenders to bob dylan to U2 ... and some of her tracks have a serious mazzy star vibe.

and of course this particular song is fairly reminiscent of a certain tommy james by way of joan jett song ...

check it ...



the acoustic version is also pretty sweet



here's another one I love ... sounds like about 5 old songs I can think of ... but solidly based on the G-D-C 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' riff that occurs in roughly 1 of 10 songs in the rock world ...
