Jeff Cowell

Born in Iron Mountain, Jeff Cowell released a few LPs independently in the 70s and continues to release until this day. 2 albums were credited to his label 'My Own Record Company'. He famously did the Iron Mountain Centennial Song (which I haven't yet heard). In 2015, Numero Group, an archivist-type label that releases unknown music, rereleased 3 of his albums. Those 3 albums: Plaint, Lucky Strikes and Liquid Gold, and Iron & Ice are currently available for streaming everywhere and have found their own little audience (currently one song has 300K+ streams on spotify). If I can get my hands on any other Cowell releases I'll surely put them up here! Numero Group has a lot more information on Jeff Cowell here: https://numerogroup.wordpress.com/category/jeff-cowell/
and here he is speaking about recording Lucky Strikes and Liquid Gold: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Hs--KoVShDufv_vZKDy_tsf4tYsb_UVP
His new album seems to have been uploaded to streaming services but I can't seem to find anywhere to listen to it. I'll try to get a hold of it. He also has just released a book of his 'life's work in poetry' in 2018, titled Another Life.
