Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo pay tribute to the work of Jackson C. Frank

Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo put their stamp on 11 songs penned by Jackson C. Frank on Golden Mirrors out March 28.

Here's the scoop... 

After Mick Harvey and Amanda Acevedo released a cover of the Jackson C. Frank song "Milk & Honey on their first collaborative album, 2023's Phantasmagoria in Blue, they were asked to contribute to a Jackson C. Frank tribute album. That led to reworking three more songs by the legendary Buffalo-born singer/songwriter – whose lone studio album was produced by Paul Simon in 1965 – and they just kept going. 

Soon enough, they had enough for a stand-alone album which became the 11-song Golden Mirrors: The Uncovered Sessions, Vol. 1 which will be released digitally by Mute on March 28th (you can pre-order it right here) with an exclusive gold vinyl Australian release via Impressed Recordings. Listen to Mick and Amanda's version of the title track "Golden Mirror" followed by Jackson C. Frank's version. Catch them on tour across Europe in April – check the dates below.

Frank birthday memorial posting from March 2 (right here) which includes a short documentary, some rare BBC recordings, his Paul Simon-produced album from 1965 and some other demos and various home recordings you may have missed.

Mick Harvey – Five Ways To Say Goodbye

Melbourne music legend Mick Harvey unveils his latest solo album, Five Ways to Say Goodbye, via Mute. 

Five Ways to Say Goodbye marks Harvey’s fifth solo album, featuring an introspective blend of originals and covers brimming with wistful acoustic rock gems. The record includes Harvey’s translated reworking of Marlene Dietrich’s 1950s ode to Berlin, “A Suitcase in Berlin” (“Ich Hab’ Noch Einen Koffer in Berlin”), which was released as a standalone single in 2023, hinting at the forthcoming album. 

In true Mick Harvey fashion, the album pays homage to fellow Australian musicians with covers of songs by Ed Kuepper -”Demolition”; Fatal Shore - “We Had an Island”; David McComb - “Setting You Free”; Lo Carmen - “Nashville High”; and The Saints - “Ghost Ships.” These tracks sit alongside a cover of Lee Hazelwood’s “Dirtnap Stories” (listen below) and Harvey’s rendition of Neil Young’s “Like a Hurricane.” 

Following on from the collaborative album Phantasmagoria in Blue with Amanda Acevedo, who also lends her voice to “Dirtnap Stories” on this record, Five Ways to Say Goodbye adds to Mick Harvey’s extensive repertoire, affirming his significant contributions to music.
