A Brooklyn native who could fairly be called the quintessential New York City musician\, \;Garland Jeffreys \;is enjoying the kind of creative second wind most artists can only hope for the first time around\, earning a swarm of critical accolades and experiencing his most prolific stretch in decades. After a long hiatus Garland Jeffreys came roaring back into the spotlight with 2011&rsquo\;s "\;The King of In Between\,"\; which included contributions from \;Duncan Sheik \;and old friend \;Lou Reed. &ldquo\;As good a classic roots rock record as you&rsquo\;re going to hear from anybody&rdquo\; - (NPR). The album earned raves and led to his second appearance onDavid Letterman \;as well as sharing the stage with pals \;Bruce Springsteen\, \;Levon Helm \;and \;Chuck Ragan. The experience fueled a creative revitalization for Jeffreys\, whose ebullient\, late-stage creative energy colors every note of his most recent release\, "\;Truth Serum (2013). \;
\n
\n??Long known for his amazing roster of supporting musicians \; (Dr. John\, Sonny Rollins\, James Taylor\, Phoebe Snow) Garland is an edgy singer-songwriter / urban poet whose work should be taught in schools. From his first big hit\, "\;Wild in the Streets\,"\; Garland has shown an amazing ability to fuse Rock\, R &\; B\, Soul\, Jazz\, Blues and Pop into something truly his own and unclassifiable. ? ?After a string of records in the seventies including "\;American Boy &\; Girl\,"\; "\;One-Eyed Jack"\; and "\;Ghost Writer\,"\; the eighties brought the fiercely rocking "\;Escape Artist\,"\; which yielded radio favorites &ldquo\;R.O.C.K.&rdquo\; and a cover of garage classic &ldquo\;96 Tears.&rdquo\; After "\;Guts for Love\,"\; a record chronicling the ups and downs of a long-term relationship\, Jeffreys returned with "\;Don&rsquo\;t Call Me Buckwheat\,"\; a complex and searingly honest exploration of being biracial in America. \;
\n
\nGarland was inducted into the \;NY Blues Hall of Fame \;and featured in the \;Wim Wenders \;blues film &ldquo\;The Soul of a Man&rdquo\;. He is a recipient of the prestigious \;Schallplattenkritik Prize \;in Germany\, the \;Tenco \;and \;Premio Prizesin Italy\, and performed at world-class festivals such as \;Byron Bay Blues\, \;Montreux Jazz\, \;Ottawa Folk\, \;Calgary Folk\, \;Fuji Rock\, and at venues from Alaska to Japan. And forty-plus years into his storied career\, Garland Jeffreys has no intention of slowing down.
