Now and again I wonder what has happen to Jason Molina, my favourite singer/songwriter, since for the past few years no records have been released. As I was looking for some classic black & white portraits of musicians I came across a statement from Magnolia Electric Co. that reads “Over the last two years Jason has been in and out of rehab” and “is currently working on a farm in West Virginia raising goats and chickens for the next year or so”. The press release also asks for support (monetary and other). Besides the fact that I hope he has the willing to create again, I wonder why there are no photographers out there doing him justice. Given the fact that I can’t do anything about that, I take the opportunity to post a video of one of my favourites “It’s hard to love a man”, from the album “What comes after the blues” and hopefully do some sort of justice by bringing his work to someone new.
There should be more Molina love out there. Farwell Transmission, just be simple and the whole of Didnt it rain got me through important times in my life.
Agree, maybe he is now realizing the quality of love waiting for him. By the way, you also got a new listener. For the looks of it, I’ll be tuning in to your show from now on.
Thanks for that.
There’s a good radio show in Portugal I would recommend http://vidroazul.libsyn.com. Have a look
Cheers, I will listen in. Thanks for listening and keep up the good work
