Jackson & The Janks’ 2023 self-titled debut album—featuring the million-streamed song “Stumblin’”—has been remastered and appears for the first time on vinyl. Formed in New Orleans and now based in NYC, the group originally included Sam Doores (The Deslondes), Matt Bell (Esther Rose), and Craig Flory (Tuba Skinny). The album features three Jackson originals alongside interpretations of cuts from vintage rhythm & blues 45s.

Since its release, The Janks have toured nationally, playing festivals like the Brooklyn Folk Fest, AmericanaFEST, and SXSW, and opening shows for Nick Shoulders. The band has also earned media coverage from UNCUT, Magnet, Wide Open Country, American Blues Scene, Gems on VHS, Western AF, and Paste.

“With their New Orleans-inspired take on the protogenic power of rhythm & blues, the band uses early rock & roll as a loose template and turns it on its head, adding bass sax and pedal steel instead of bass and lead guitar into a unique melting pot of raucous, ramshackle rock & roll and old timey jugband country folk,” wrote Holler. The Portland Mercury described the band as existing “somewhere between southern gospel and twangy honky tonk, heartbreak and world-weary hope.”
