Monday, April 20, 2020 - Single Review - Jackson's Farm - John Jenkins
Jackson’s Farm is the first single to be released from John Jenkins’ forthcoming album Growing Old (Songs From My Front Porch)
As the rain pours an acoustic guitar brings in the song which has a gentle and nostalgic feel. The vocals are soft, slow and measured, allowing the instruments to fill the pauses between words.
The string arrangement by Amy Chalmers is simply stunning, and it adds something special to the feel of the song
The whole song is simple – in a good way. Primarily guitar, John’s voice and the soaring strings

This whole style suits the story in the song. Our storyteller is looking back on a love, on a life, remembering how it was with memories all around him on Jackson’s Farm
Stood by the window, I'm watching the rainfall and feeling nostalgic. Get out the old photos The rain represents my tears; the rain is hard, life can be too.
Jackson's Farm, the new single from John Jenkins is available to download and stream now on all digital platforms
You can find John on facebook, his website, presenting his Americana Blues Country and Folk show at Vintage Radio Birkenhead or just sat by the window, watching the rain...
