With any songwriter, or artist in general, there’s a question about how much of yourself to give away to your audience in your songs. Some songwriters are naturally open, capable of taking on the most painful and honest emotions and sharing them without a hint of concealment. Many more artists are more guarded, wrapping up their truth in a web of poetry and disguise, giving the listener only snapshots of their truth. Sometimes this can be more rewarding, there’s a joy to discovering a songwriter’s story that you’ll never get with a heart on their sleeve, confessional songwriter spelling out their pain in giant letter for the whole world to see. A little deceit and pretence can make a songwriter’s sincerity all the sweeter.
the superbly talented singer songwriter Gallery 47, is a vessel for the songwriting talents of Jack Peachey and a revolving cast of largely Nottingham based backing musicians. Jack has released his third album, tiltled “Clean”, the follow up to 2014’s All Will Be Well, an album that’s success saw Jack tour Europe in support of the somewhat unlikely figure of Paul Weller.
Jack has so far shared a pair of tracks from Clean in the shape of recent singles, Some Of You Don’t Get It and Mother’s Plan. These tracks suggest a gentle re-imagination of his previous folkish output.
