While Jersey City’s J Hacha de Zola readies a new album for June, the self-described “urban junkyard” musician has graced us with a collection of favorite tracks culled his previous releases.
If the cover seems familiar, it should; Hacha de Zola has paid homage to the least likely of musical inspirations, “John Denver’s Greatest Hits.” A world of difference separates Denver, the wholesome Rocky Mountain troubadour of the ‘70s, and the Jersey City madman whose gonzo forays into baroque cabaret, gypsy blues, and Latin pop have earned comparisons to oddballs like Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.
