Folk Americana Artist Jack Barksdale uses humor and clever lyrics to tackle one of the biggest scams of our time in “The Scam Song”
Acclaimed Texas singer/songwriter Jack Barksdale returns today with his most fearless and thought-provoking release to date. Out now via Cloverdale Records, "The Scam Song" is a catchy and topical anthem that takes aim at the unchecked influence of wealth, power, and corporate greed in modern society.
Armed with little more than an acoustic guitar, an unmistakable voice, and a razor-sharp pen, Barksdale has started to build a reputation for writing songs that challenge, provoke, and inspire.
On "The Scam Song," he channels the spirit of the great songwriters before him while delivering a message that feels urgently relevant today.
Written by Barksdale, produced by Memphian, Mark Edgar Stuart, and recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis, TN., the five-song collection confronts the philosophical, social, economic, and political fault lines shaping today’s world. The album, ’Battleground’, out October 16th will be available on CD, Vinyl and Digital. The title track features acclaimed singer-songwriter Julian Taylor, adding another powerful voice to the project.
