This album is an overview of the work of Jackson C. Frank, friend and peer of the likes of Paul Simon, Bert Jansch and (his girlfriend for a while), Sandy Denny. It just about spans his entire career, from his first 1965 single to 3 tracks recorded in 1994. It also includes 5 tracks never before released, which he performed when presenting the "My Kind Of Folk" radio show in 1968. His most well-known song "Blues Run The Game" (included here in the rare single version, along with the non-album b-side) has been covered by Simon and Garfunkel, Counting Crows, Bert Jansch and Eddi Reader, and Nick Drake recorded 4 of his songs. In recent years, Jackson's work has come to be recognized much more widely, and his music (particularly "Blues Run The Game") has been included in many TV programs and films, with "My Name Is Carnival" featuring in 2019's huge hit "Joker". Sessions include "My Kind Of Folk" Nov 13, 1968 "Shotwell Sessions, " recorded June 5, 1972 "Rude Sessions, " recorded May 9, 1974 "Mekeel Sessions, " recorded in May, 1975 "The Anderson Sessions, " recorded in September, 1994 Extensive sleeve notes detailing the tragic life of this Folk artist,
"Rare historical tracks from the legendary folk singer who influenced Nick Drake, Wizz Jones, Bert Jansch and Simon and Garfunkel" on cover sticker. "Original Recordings from 1965 to 1994" on back cover. Includes extensive sleeve notes and 5 tracks never released before. Tracks 18-22 are from "My Kind Of Folk" BBC radio show from 11/13/68 and are previously unreleased.
"American Troubadour" on CD is a carefully curated collection that celebrates the haunting songwriting and intimate performances of Jackson C. Frank, one of the most influential yet often overlooked voices of the 1960s folk movement. Centered around his stark, emotionally charged songs, this release captures the quiet intensity, melancholy and lyrical depth that earned Frank a lasting cult following among musicians and discerning listeners. Sparse arrangements, warm acoustic guitar and his unmistakable, vulnerable voice create a timeless atmosphere that speaks to themes of isolation, memory and fragile hope. This edition is designed for listeners who appreciate authentic, unembellished folk music and wish to discover - or rediscover - a songwriter whose work has resonated far beyond his short recording career. The sound has been prepared with care to present these recordings as clearly and naturally as possible, allowing the nuances of Frank's playing and phrasing to emerge in full detail.

Jackson C. Frank was an American singer-songwriter closely associated with the British folk revival of the mid-1960s. Although he released only one studio album in his lifetime, his influence has proved enduring: his signature song "Blues Run the Game" has been covered by artists across generations, and his introspective, finely crafted songwriting has inspired many leading figures in folk and singer-songwriter circles. His small but powerful body of work has gained renewed attention over the decades, cementing his reputation as a "songwriter's songwriter" whose emotional honesty and melodic subtlety reward close listening. "American Troubadour" highlights precisely those qualities, offering an accessible entry point into his remarkable legacy.

Mooncrest, the label behind this CD, is known for its dedication to reissuing and preserving important recordings from the folk, rock and roots spectrum. With a particular focus on artistically significant, sometimes hard-to-find material, Mooncrest specializes in thoughtful catalogue releases that present influential albums and artists in a respectful, listener-friendly way. By bringing Jackson C. Frank's work back into circulation, the label underlines its commitment to keeping key chapters of modern music history available for new audiences and long-time collectors alike.
