A musician you don't know but you should: Jack Ladder

Jack Ladder
Jack Ladder in mostly unknown in the USA, but has some recognition in his native Australia.  His music will take a listener through 1950's American rock to 1980's sounding pop with a low growl with some modern elements.  His masterpiece is called "Barber's Son" and beside the killer guitar work and vocal performance, the lyrics are amazing.  I also appreciate the the drummer very much...nice touch! Being a barber's song who fell far from the tree myself, I have a special respect for what he is trying to say. Especially the part about the banana at the end!  Best Lyric "Cockroaches kids lay down and die"
