Even before the internet was so integral to a musician's career, James Brandon Best, as he was born, didn't play ball with the music industry. With no press photos, no music videos, rare and often-bewildering public performances, obscure lyrics, only two albums in over two decades, and not being the type of guy who gets...

Mrs.Paintbrush, AKA Jackson of Grand Buffet, bares his beautiful soul, with guest interviewer Beverly Fresh.
