Soul on fire (Saint Jude) (LP 3682)

Saint Jude  Diary of a Soul Fiend (CD, Saint Jude Records, 2010) ***  

Genre: Rock

Places I remember: Classic Rock magazine

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Soul on Fire (YouTube); Soul on Fire

Gear costume: Pleased to Meet You

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6

Active compensatory factors: Although the cover features lead singer Lynne Jackaman, Saint Jude was a band and this is their only album. It was a covermount CD for a Classic Rock magazine edition in 2010.

As well as Jackaman, the band comprises Adam Green (he died 2012 - hence only the one album) – guitar; Lee Cook – drums; Elliot Mortimer – keyboards; Colin Palmer Kellogg – bass.

They play a spirited kind of rock and soul music with guitars and Lynn Jackaman's impressive vocals to the fore. We live in a crazy old world when music this good is given away free with a magazine. Nevermind - they had their 15 minutes, and this album is a fine legacy to their talents.

Where do they all belong? Lynne Jackaman has continued to make music. Her One Shot album sounds worthy of my time.
