  Seven Songs for the Week #126 - 3rd Sept 25

  Jason Carty

  I picked up the first Jobriath album on Record Store Day a few years ago. Gave it another spin this week and it really clicked. From 1973, recorded while Queen were recording their debut across the Atlantic. The story that goes with Jobriath is "curious overhyped failure" instead of seeing how well the music has aged. There's a short distance between this track and, say, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy, and I hear John Grant and Rufus Wainright here too. I must track down the Jobriath AD documentary.
