Description
Four Dogs Music is very pleased to have become acquainted with Jack Mancor, an emerging talent from Australia. His debut album, Looking For Something, is a first rate release much in the traditions of the great Woody Guthrie.
12 self penned acoustic tracks, with Jack playing acoustic and steel guitar, mandolin and harmonica. His great love of traditional folk, roots and blues music, coupled with an eye for the underdog, reminds us of another Four Dogs favourite Alistair Hulett. Fine songs with a political slant.
Spanner In The Works is a great track that should appeal to anarchists and activists everywhere and No One To Blame is much in the territory of Bruce Spingsteen’s Devils And Dust. A stand out track, One Step Forward has the immortal line ‘If they were smart bombs they wouldn’t fall at all, if they did they’d turn into schools and hospitals’. Fine words indeed.
With a new cd in the offing Jack Mancor is on the move to bigger things. Watch this space.
