Jakko M. Jakszyk announces new solo album Son Of Glen and launches epic title track.
Jakko M. Jakszyk, most recently known as lead singer and second guitarist in King Crimson, is proud to announce his new solo album Son Of Glen – set for release on the 27th June 2025 on Inside Out Music.
The record is a companion piece of sorts to his acclaimed memoir Who’s The Boy With The Lovely Hair, that was released in October 2024. A brilliant and absorbing memoir that explores not only a fascinating musical journey but delves into a deep personal tale is the source of many of the themes and the subjects that the book touches upon.
Jakko comments: “A romantic fantasy narrative based on what I discovered about my real father after decades of fruitless searching for him. Glen Tripp was a US airman based in the UK who fell for a dark-haired Irish singer. And here I was many, many years later repeating what he had done by falling for another. What if he had been watching me and guiding me from ‘afar’?”
The album also features appearances by drummer’s Gavin Harrison (King Crimson/Porcupine Tree) and Ian Mosley (Marillion), cellist Caroline Lavelle, Louise Patricia Crane on vocals and Jakko’s son Django on bass guitar.
A specially commissioned video for Son Of Glen, will be premiered on the 2nd May.
