Jill Jackson is one of Scotland’s leading singer-songwriters; her
sensitive storytelling and heart-rending vocals have earned her a
loyal fanbase and have drawn comparisons to the likes of Brandi
Carlile and Joni Mitchell. As former frontwoman of noughties group
Speedway, she has enjoyed an illustrious pop career, but country and
Americana music have always been Jill’s creative home, after falling
in love with the holy trinity that is Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline and
Emmylou Harris as a child.
With five solo records under her belt, Jill’s 2018 album, Are We
There Yet? was released to critical acclaim and will be followed up by
Yours Aye this spring. This is the record Jill has always wanted to
make and comes from an artist who is exactly where they’re supposed
to be. Despite her many career achievements, Jill is an artist who has
often – until now – felt like the underdog. However, as the tide
slowly starts to change in music and an undercurrent of female talent
begins to dominate the Americana scene, Jill stands proudly at the
heart of that incredible swell.
