Erin Osmon presents a detailed, human account of the Rust Beltborn musician Jason Molinaa visionary, prolific, and at times cantankerous singer-songwriter with an autodidactic style that captivated his devoted fans. The songwriting giant behind the bands Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. had a knack for spinning tales, from the many personal myths he cultivated throughout his life to the poems and ballads he penned and performed. As with too many great musicians, Molinas complicated relationship with the truth, combined with a secretive relationship with the bottle, ultimately claimed his life.
With a new foreword from singer-songwriter Will Johnson, Jason Molina: Riding with the Ghost details Molinas personal trials and triumphs and reveals for the first time the true story of Molinas last months and works, including an unpublished album unknown to many of his fans. Offering unfettered access to the mind and artistry of Molina through exclusive interviews with family, friends, and collaborators, the book also explores the Midwest music underground and the development of Bloomington, Indianabased label Secretly Canadian.
As the first authorized and detailed account of this prolific songwriter and self-mythologizer, Jason Molina provides readers with unparalleled insight into Molinas tormented life and the fascinating Midwest musical underground that birthed him. Its a story for the ages that speaks volumes to the triumphs and trials of the artistic spirit while exploring the meaningful music that Molinas creative genius left behind.
