Welcome to Camelot Records nice to have you as a friend.
Jan Kurtis
Seattle's fabled Camelot Records makes its glorious return with this "best of" CD -- a disc that showcases some of the finest vintage 1960s R&B, Soul, and Rock 'n' Roll music ever produced in the Pacific Northwest. Included here are "long lost" gems of the widely esteemed Northwest Sound, nearly forgotten R&B rarities, previously unreleased sounds, and a number of tunes that (in their original 45rpm disc form) currently command mind-boggling values on the global collectors market. Like wresting an enchanted sword from a solid stone, Camelot has pulled off a grand feat that will thrill all fellow Knights of the Turntables. -Peter Blecha, Northwest Music Archives, 2009
Please check out our new "vampire bankers" comic music video. The guy who directed this also directed Madonna's first music vid. We think it's funny. Hope you do, too. There's also a free mp3 download on http://www.ukejackson.com
Thanks for being our friend! Uke Jackson and the NY Ukulele Ensemble
In early October I wrote one of my latest songs called, “Wall Street Bail Out Blues.” Within four days of writing it, a video crew captured me playing it on the street at Seattle’s Pike Place Market and posted their video on YouTube. That video has now reached the attention of a writer for The Wall Street Journal who is writing an article about those who have written songs about our tough economic times. His article will be published this week and I’m excited to read it.
Who knows where this might lead? Call me an optimist but I have a feeling that this could mean that a few more seconds of that elusive fifteen minutes of fame might be coming my way.
It ain’t the cover of the Rolling Stone but it’s not every day that a writer from a major worldwide news outlet seeks me out to talk to me about my songwriting. That’s a huge validation of my efforts at staying true to my vision. I must be doing something right.
