Jackal ~ Canada ~ Toronto, Ontario


Awake (1973)

Jackal's sole album is a very fine hard rock album with bluesy guitar, choppy Hammond organ, and gritty soulful vocals. Like a more lethargic Micah, and anytime that fine band is in the reference column, then investigation should follow in hot pursuit. The album has a bit too many slow moments to be a classic, but when they're on, it is a fantastic experience to behold. Listen to tracks like 'At the Station' , 'For You', 'How Time Has Flown', 'Lost in the World', and the superb closing title track.

Ownership: 1994 The Labyrinth (CD). The Labyrinth was a joint effort between The Laser's Edge and Minotauro, who managed to get out four releases in the early 90s. The value of an original LP outpaces my interest in the music, so this CD is sufficient.

5/9/15 (acquired / review / new entry); 9/4/23
