The Blood of Life

VINYL FORMAT. 2008 release. This is the first album by Jackie-O Motherfucker on Fire Records. Recorded live in the studios of VPRO Radio in Amsterdam in 2007, The Blood Of Life contains two completely new versions of Jackie-O Motherfucker classics, "Hey! Mr. Sky," (an opus from Flags of the Sacred Harp) and "The Grave," as well as a reworking of "Valley Of Fire," all produced in a very minimal but powerful style. In addition, the record also features a traditional ballad, "The Lost Jimmy Walen," and a brand-new track, "The Blood Of Life," which marks a new direction for the band in a 18-minute exploration of free-jazz and drone-infused experimentation. Housed in a beautiful 6-panel digipack CD.
