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...
