Jim Shelley – This Haunted Life (Cassette 1992)

#361

GAJOOB Review 1992

Add Jim Shelley to your list of highly prolific, consistently proficient DIY artists. Shelley delivers the goods one song after another on this release. It’s got a raw, Dylanesque kind of street poetry feel to it, complete with harmonica. Recorded at home, this one’s got a gritty emotional muscle. And the songs are damn good too. Highly recommended.

I could never work in a recording studio where you have this lovely view and a beach and the waves are crashing. For me, it’s all about being in a tiny room with little windows. It’s almost like you have to be in a prison. And you can create beauty when you’re in that sort of deprived environment, which is a re-creation of your formative years.Madonna
