Album Smackwater Jack. Smackwater Jack Lyrics. Now, Smackwater Jack He bought a shotgun 'Cause he was in the mood For a little confrontation He just a-let it all hang loose; He didn't think about the noose He couldn't take no more abuse So he shot down the congregation. You can't talk to a man With a shotgun in his hand.

Quincy Jones had jazz fans wondering when he released his killer Gula Matari album in 1970. That set, with gorgeous reading of Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with a lead vocal by none other than Valerie Simpson, pointed quite solidly into the direction Jones was traveling: unabashedly toward pop, but with his own trademark taste, and sophistication at the forefront of his journey.

Smackwater Jack" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. It was first released on King's 1971 album Tapestry and then on the second single from that album, along with "So Far Away," charting at on the Billboard Hot 100. It was subsequently covered by many artists, most famously by Quincy Jones as the title song of his 1971 album Smackwater Jack.

Smackwater Jack" is one of the most enjoyable of Quincy Jones's many albums, offering a kaleidoscope of styles and moods, and performances by top jazz and session musicians. The Japanese SHM-CD release being discussed here offers clear, full-bodied sound, and the charm of duplicating, as much as possible, the look and feel of the 1971 vinyl LP release, down to the tan A&M label on the CD. The effect of all this evident care is spoiled by the very first track on the disc, which is not the same as that found on the original album release. Like most of the albums that Quincy Jones released in the 1970s, the song selection on this album represents a mixed bag of musical styles. Very hard to classify it all, but very easy to enjoy such well-played and produced music.
