That sucks - I've met him a few times and he was a really great awesome guy, in addition to being a great musician. The last time I saw him, there was this drunk dude heckling him, but I'm not remembering the details of it right now.

sorry for the random update, but Three Lobed Recordings is extremelysad to pass along news that our dear friend Jack Rose passed away thismorning in Philadelphia at the age of 38. This news is still fresh tous and we're still trying to process it. Jack was a warm, caringperson and was always a pleasure to be around. His larger than lifespirit will truly, truly be missed even moreso than his inspiredmusical ability. Our deepest sorrow goes out to his wife.Rest in peace, Jack.Cory
Rest in peace, Jack.

I saw him pestered by a heckler to play "Kensington Blues" over and over at an instore at the old location of The True Vine in Baltimore and eventually he played it, with great humor and force and compassion. A great musician and a life-force. As I understand it through the grapevine, the heckler was a troubled guy who died not too long ago of a drug overdose, and now Jack's dead too.
I can't believe he's dead at 38. Jeez, I'm 38.

Oh shit, terrible news, I'm 3 years older than he was! Saw him in London 2 or 3 years ago - he got a wonderful growling tone out of his guitar but still played with subtlety and emotion, without lapsing into sentimentality. Seemed like a cool guy too, I'm quite upset about this actually. RIP

I was lucky enough to see Pelt with Jack at the Terrastock 2 show you can hear on Empty Bell Ringing in the Sky -- it was and is one of the highlights of my showgoing life, one huge long track that was utterly mesmerizing, and the recording by default just can't capture the full impact of it.
Both Pelt and, separately, Jack played at the last Terrastock, in Jack's case with the Black Twig Pickers. Weird that I'll only ever see one of them again now.

been heavy into this lately & absolutely loving it, esp his ragtime/old timey stuff has gone from being my least to most favourite. some combination of playing/thumbpick/micing on kensington blues makes the bass on tracks like flirtin with the undertaker bludgeon the song to death a bit, but dr ragtime & his pals sounds awesome and is pure joy
really enjoyed the remembrances, the points about his craftsmanship & attention to sonic details are very otm, and the bachman stuff in particular is v sweet and chimes with my starry-eyed memories of meeting jack
also just want to bask in this magnificent sentence again:
His ragtime songs were so powerful and executed with such precision and might that even “hipsters” got it.
the stuff about him 'owning' everything he did rang true, and makes me think more about how confidently and fruitfully he followed fahey, thriving in his shadow, following him upriver deep into the mountains in such of the source. watching some of his performances on youtube it's incredible how much he looks & dresses like fahey, as if his quest had started transformed him physically, presumably starting at that mighty right hand. and yeah, it's great to hear sundogs again, was a truly awesome piece to hear
