Jason Molina



Molina is one of the few special heartland rockers out there therese days. He's blue collar, he's behind his music, and he's not afraid to make a shitload of it under lots of different names. He's always been the brain behind all his projects though. Songs: Ohia found the most recognition particularly with their release Magnolia Electric Co.(2003) which was the final Songs: Ohia album and later became the name of Molina's next affair. Currently Molina might be dead. He's been in and out of hospitals for the past two years, but nobody knows why. What we do know is that he has no health insurance. I think he's working on a farm in West Virginia now where he's raising chickens and the like or maybe he works in a museum in London. His life and health have been shrouded in mystery for too long. We all hope he leaves soon and starts channelling Neil Young and Springsteen in lyric driven rockers like this one.

And another one off of Fading Trails (2006) by Magnolia Electric Co.
