What's Up This Month on the New Jersey Coast

Volume 2, Number 10, page 9

SHORE WORLD/OCTOBER 2001~!~!~!
(continued from page 8)
Next up was another of Staten Island's finest,[and our personal fave], the able baritone and guitar of Jack Stock. The song, the immediately likable 'Cowboy' is a Springsteenish Harp-sweetened tale of downbeat simplicity about Jack's secret ramblin' desire to be a cowboy..The song showcases the man's gentle accessibility and soulful inner core, as you hum along to the tune's strangely comfortable 'La-de-Dah' chorus, from a guy whose played around for a decade or more, all over Hell, Jersey and back.


This is one Stock that won't drop...Jack

     And though I kid this stand-up Island dude sometimes and introduce him as 'Jack He's So Jersey Stock". he's  become very popular lately down the shore, among folks who're basic fans of the traditional Shore or 'SOAP"[Sounds of Asbury Park} Scene.

And when he says 'who the fuck are THEY to say". I'm gosh, gee, hohum, good-bye.. If you wanna reach out to these guys, e mail at Scocco@excite.com. !Maybe they'll twist up a fat doober and you can rap about, you know, The Man getting' down on shit, you know…}
