Everyday's Torture (Cover) - Jackie Cornell aka Jacky Cornell (1971)

This song had to make an appearance at some point. I believe I found this on the compilation '(Joost den Draaijer presenteert) The Golden Years Of Dutch Pop Music - The Seventies Part 1 (Hits & Tips 1970-1971),' released in 2016, available on Spotify. Sidenote: Joost den Draaijer is the pseudonym of Willem van Kooten, legendary radio DJ and record producer, now 83 years old.

I can't remember anymore if I listened to the whole compilation, either way, on Disc 2 there it is: this song by Jackie Cornell. It's stuck with me for years now. For those of you that are familiar with late 60s - early 70s Dutch pop music, you might have noticed this is originally a song by famous The Hague band Golden Earring (1969). The Golden Earring version is also quite good, with a guitar solo at about 2 minutes in that I wish had been included in Cornell's version. (Another sidenote: Cornell also appears to be from The Hague.)

What Cornell's version really has going for it is an incredibly powerful and expressive voice - he really sounds like a man at the end of his wits, driven crazy by a doomed romance. I almost wish the song was slower, or perhaps the instrumentals took more of a backseat - this guy is singing his heart out and the string section has the audacity to compete with him! Jacky's tortured bluesy sound feels very James Brown inspired. I can listen to it dozens of times and not get tired. So why isn't he more famous? Seems like I'm not the only one wondering that.

I found a post about the song and Jacky's music career on the blog Ondergewardeerde Liedjes (Under-appreciated Songs). The post was made in 2018, it's in Dutch but Google Translate does a good job of translating it into English. These days Jackie Cornell, real name Jacques Eckhardt, runs a respected oyster bar in Toronto with his wife Phebe. There's a lovely article about it in the Toronto Star (from 2021). If I'm ever in Toronto I'll have to visit, and if Jacques happens to read this: much love from The Hague, thank you for sharing your voice with us.

I'm a man, know my destiny But it seems, love is dead for me I'm hung up on a woman's resolution There's nothing left but a dream, an illusion I'm a man, know my destiny But it seems, love is dead for me Free me, free me

Who the f*** is Jordan Fish?

18 januari: een enthousiaste S10 wordt op Noorderslag geïnterviewd door twee 3FM-DJ’s; ze vragen haar hoe het was om te werken met Jordan Fish, haar grote idool. Op 21 maart komt namelijk haar nieuwe album uit, Mijn Haren Ruiken Naar Vuur, dat geheel is geproduceerd door deze Brit. Kort wordt in het interview benoemd dat hij “van Bring Me The Horizon” is, maar daar blijft het ook bij. Dat is geheel terecht, want voor de gemiddelde kijker is S10 zelf veel interessanter, maar voor de nerds onder ons: wie de f*** is Jordan Fish nou eigenlijk, en waarom wilde S10 zo graag met hem samenwerken?

Dit is een fragment uit mijn recentste Substack-post. De rest lees je hier.
