Jackson C. Frank
Another tragic, sad sack classic long lost Folk singer/ songwriter. This Paul Simon produced debut album by Frank was to be his first and last release, due to bouts of depression and mental illness, but his writing style did influence a slew of his contemporaries ... unfortunately Jackson learned music hospitalized after a tragic school fire when he was a boy, then became a recluse in his closing years, living on the streets, jumping from institution to institution, getting his eye accidentally shot out by a pellet gun, and then a pneumonia induced expiry at the age of 56 ... YOW!! Talk about your stacked decks!
