Jason Falkner stepped out on his own in 1996 with Presents Author Unknown, and it sounds exactly like what it is: a pop craftsman who's done his time in other people's bands finally getting to call every shot himself. Born in 1968 and rooted in San Francisco, he'd already logged stints in Jellyfish, the Three O'Clock and the Grays before going solo.
"I Live" and "Follow Me" are the songs that stuck with rock radio's listeners: sunny, sharply hooked guitar pop with a melancholy streak running just below the melody line. It's the sound of a guy who clearly worships a good chorus and isn't embarrassed about it.
Presents Author Unknown turned out to be the first of six solo albums, but Falkner has also kept a busy second life as a session player and producer on dozens of other artists' records. He went on the road as the touring bassist for the French duo Air, and he's spent many years as Beck's touring guitarist.
