Tales from an Aussie battler with a folk/blues sound.

Jack Mancor sings of broken men, hardships and the Australian way of life. Black Top Blues is an earthy blend of blues/roots as Jack connects a traditional country style with a contemporary folk sound, making him a quintessential one-man band. A mechanic from Melbourne his passion contributes greatly to the overall feel of this album. One track in particular Chicken On The Bone/Road to Riga includes some delightful Fiddle and Mandolin work from Matiss Schubert which could be mistaken for Celtic folk. Ultimately the instrumentation on this album is what really holds it together. This is Jack’s second album and remains very sombre with an often too obvious American folk feel reminiscent of Bob Dylan and John Cougar Mellencamp. His captivating voice, good Australian story telling and string ensemble combine to form a true blue Aussie album, great for the whole family.

Is good album artwork/packaging a factor in you deciding whether to buy a CD or just a download?
