Phil Jackson

Phil Jackson writes and plays a different type of music. Some have compared him to Leo Koetke and Martin Sexton, among others. He pushes the envelope with alternate guitar rhythms and drums. The original lyrics and music tell the story of life of the veteran of musical road wars that earned him the name “Father Time”. A member of numerous bands, his most notable was with White Eyes, managed by the same team as Brewer and Shiply, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and other notable groups of the time. White Eyes performed across country opening for Albert King, Foghat, 10 Years After, Muddy Waters, Bad Finger, Grand Funk, BB King, Kansas, and others. His release in the year 2000, “Father Time and the Time Warrior’s” is a two CD set with 32 panel insert that includes all lyrics as well as original artwork. Phil Jackson is a driven songwriter with much personal history. Art Folk-Rock is one possible description but he doesn’t limit his influences and strives for progression in the creative process and outcome. He has formal and self experience related musical training, and enjoys the recording process with his home and field studio. Guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums are his main instruments. Token, his son, is a frequent collaborator in recording and performance. Spreading his songs around is important to him and so satisfying, when a song becomes a transcending moment for the listener and the artist.
