About this album
Escape Artist is one of Garland Jeffreys’ strongest statements, sharpening his blend of rock, reggae and blues rock into songs with grit, melody and social bite. Released in 1981, the album reflects Jeffreys’ New York roots while drawing on dub and pop-rock influences to create a sound that is both muscular and unusually fluid. Its mix of urgency and hooks helped confirm him as a distinctive outsider voice in American rock, equally at home with street-level storytelling and infectious choruses. For listeners exploring his catalogue, Escape Artist stands out as a focused and compelling late-20th-century roots-rock record.
