Chris Jagger - live in London
Advertisement
Chris Jagger has been busy, as it seems, he always is.
There’s been the song writing: adding to the pile of 100+ compositions he’s created, recorded and had published over the years and heard on the dozen albums he’s released, some solo, some with his band Atcha. And there’s been the small scale animal husbandry: he and his wife keep chickens and sheep at the farmhouse near Glastonbury they’ve called home for 20 years.
“Let’s face it, we’re coming to the end of our careers” he concedes, “You never know if it’s gonna be your last record. So, with all the players I got the feeling that they were going out to show that they still had it, still could play and they would put more into this than if this was just a regular session. They were totally committed.”
Taken together this is Mixing Up The Medicine: a joyful, life-enhancing album by a man well versed in a whole range of musical styles, distilled right here into 10 tight tracks. “Then I realised ‘mixing up the medicine’ is also a line in Subterranean Homesick Blues” Jagger chuckles. “I’d forgotten that. But I’m a big Bob Dylan fan, so that can’t be a bad thing, right ?
