Nor would they pony up the cash for him to hire a backing band. They saw him play a solo showcase in New York and were so blown away they deemed the additional musicians unnecessary. He had wanted to leave Elektra after Author Unknown, but they convinced him to stay for a second album, the almost equally excellent Can You Still Feel? The entire experience put Jason off making records for labels, and while he produced two further albums of music, they both initially came out only in Japan, and only after much coaxing from boutique Tokyo label Noise McCartney Records.

Instead, Jason busied himself as a sideman, playing regularly with Beck for the last two decades, and touring with French band Air for three years. I was watching the Oscars this time last year and when Elton John played a song from the Rocketman movie, I was unsurprised to see Jason side-stage, rocking out on his red Fender Jazzmaster.

Those are the kind of gigs he lands these days. Jason also works as a producer for hire, and has made records for a bunch of different artists. So, briefly back to this Run Out Groove business. Warner have pre-negotiated rights to all three albums, so why not produce them all? I started a facebook campaign last year when Owsley's seminal self-titled debut album was in the running on Run Out Groove but it didn't stand a chance against Bay Area metalcore band Machine Head with their debut album.

This falls outside the usual Run Out Groove purview since it HAS been out on vinyl before, all over the Latin American market, and it even got a US edition, which can be picked up fairly inexpensively. More troubling still is their considerable presence on social media which can drive a campaign to get them the most votes.

The interviews, essays, and reviews on Musoscribe reflect Bill's keen interest in American musical forms, most notably rock, jazz, and soul. His work features a special emphasis on reissues and vinyl. Bill's work also appears in many other outlets both online and in print. Jason: Uh, it is. Well Travis, especially Dougie the bass player, he was a big fan of mine anyway before the Nigel thing came up.

I think it was on a listening station in the Virgin Megastore or something. At the time I was recently single and I would usually listen to records with headphones in bed. It woke me up. It had just come out …. Jason: Exactly. So I had my manager contact him, and we got on the phone.
