Jandek
# Jandek

Jandek, pseudonimo di Sterling Richard Smith (Houston, 26 ottobre 1944), è un cantante, musicista e produttore discografico statunitense. La sua carriera è disseminata di produzioni e lavori prodotti e venduti al di fuori delle logiche di mercato (ristampati dalla label fittizia Corwood Industries). Il suo stile segue diversi generi musicali: musica d'autore, folk, ma anche lo-fi, blues, post rock e outsider music.

Non si conosce molto della sua biografia e circolano poche fotografie che lo ritraggono, fattori che hanno contribuito ad alimentarne lo status di artista cult. Inizia la carriera pubblicando nel 1978 l'album Ready for the House (come The Units). Nel 1981 pubblica il primo album a nome Jandek, ossia Six and Six.
