The big influence there is, obviously, Steely Dan, which has always been a good thing in my book, and don't give me any of that Yacht Rock shit, because I don't want to hear it. In any case, Jackson's evocation of that 70's sound has a nice (admittedly subtle) contemporary edge to it, and frankly if you profess not to enjoy the result you're just being difficult.
The album that it's on is coming out momentarily; other than that I haven't been able to find any info on the guy or the album (or Tim's history -- obviously, he's been around for a while) but I'll do the research and get back to you ASAP.

Yes it’s pretty terrific except for the guitar which is a bit over baring in the second half of the song.
Good call. Stay dry.
Captain Al
pretty great song. In this vein (not including Steely Dan) are Young Gun and Silver Gun, especially their stellar album West End Coast. Just brilliant.
Liked the song, a definite S/D influence heard a little bit of Todd and Dr.John.
Odd website, introduces him as acoustic artist and his picture has him with telecaster - I'm a back of the album guy, who's in the band, studio, engineer - nothing 🥴
I think that’s a different Tim Jackson. This one has a shaved head and has just this song on Right Track Records.

Paul, "Gasoline and Guitar Strings" ?
Yep, I found multiple Tim Jacksons out there.
I'm also hearing Ace's "How long has this been going on"
I need a memorable Elliott Randall guitar centerpiece to really make this one memorable for me. It's got basic goodness for sure, but needs that killer ingredient.
