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. Acquired in 2015.
