The Heritage of Jack and Its Impact on His Style
As he began working on his style, he finds himself continually inspired by Jack’s own take on music. For decades remarkable for soulfulness in performance and genre-bending surprises, Jack would capture the album itself. The young man aspired to do similarly-place the genre away from the overwhelming engagement by experimenting with his music to create something that paid tribute to Jack as well as reflected him himself.
He brought folk and blues, and an extent of rock into his songs all as tributes to the sounds of music Jack had enjoyed. Still, he was creating new styles and was pouring into his songs experiences and influences rooted in his own life and music. It gave his music that character which might be both timeless and new at the same time.
Over time, he realized that Jack’s legacy is not imitation but freedom-in the sense of having a gift to do something meaningful. Influence of Jack was to his understanding that music is an individualistic expression. And with this realization, he felt that he had a purpose toward music and life. He was no more after the idea of emulating Jack but was merely making a difference in his own path, inspired by the values Jack held closely.
