Scotlands Jackie Leven got his start as the singer for the group Doll by Doll.
After the bands demise, he hit a streak of bad luck his girlfriend left him for
the Dalai Lamas bodyguard, and his flirtation with drugs became a full-on
addiction. Eventually, however, he got clean, and lived to sing about his
troubles on his 1995 debut for Cooking Vinyl, The Mystery of Love Is Greater
Than the Mystery of Death. The label also reissued his 1975 record, Control
(originally released as by John St. Field), and the new album Forbidden Songs of
the Dying West later in 1995. Several additional albums appeared during the late
90s, including studio efforts for Cooking Vinyl and Thirsty Ear, plus live
albums recorded for Haunted Valley. Elegy for Johnny Cash arrived in 2005.
