Jason Molina was a tormented soul who left this world at a young age. Shades of Neil Young, Eddie Vedder and even Bruce Cockburn can be heard throughout his music. His haunting lyrics, many of which are posted beneath the videos, are works of poetry unto themselves. Though he had prolific engineer Steve Albini work on some of his albums, the critically acclaimed troubadour never achieved mainstream success, and the 15 albums he made only sold 200,000 copies worldwide. He struggled with alcoholism related illness for many years, and unable to pay his medical bills, was working on a farm in West Virginia raising goats and chickens before he died of multiple organ failure at age 39.
