(09.08.2007) Jackie-O Motherfucker - Live at MFNW


Led by Tom Greenwood, these masters of psychedelic improv can produce anything from sleepy folk to explosive prog on a given day, but last Saturday at Towne Lounge they went with their classic, standard mode of wandering, dream-gospel. Greenwood stood shaking maracas before taking a seat, manning his guitar and effects pedals, and reading from new lyrics scrawled on loose pieces of paper, not out of his usual notebook. Then a very strange thing happened. Greenwood led his tribe into a song. The four musicians performed “Hey Mr. Sky” off the critically acclaimed 2005 album Flags of the Sacred Harp. Fans seated on the floor exchanged mystified glances and drank in the rare opportunity to hear Jackie-O play a song they knew by heart. -HARP
