I Am Secretly An Important Man: Film By Peter

• Track Listing

Limited vinyl LP pressing including DVD and poster. The LP in this set is a previously unreleased album of Jesse Bernstein songs produced by Steve Fisk and Pete Sillen. I Am Secretly An Important Man is a portrait of writer and poet Steven J. Bernstein (aka Jesse Bernstein), one of Seattle's most celebrated and troubled voices. His angry, surprisingly fresh and lyrical writings are about sensitive souls, drifters and drug addicts; the people alienated by a society that refuses to understand them. Bernstein peels back the ugliness and the darkness of life on the fringe to expose tender and not so tender human feeling. His unique rhythms, filled with humor and pain, were especially exciting when read in his own gravely voice. Bernstein was an integral part of the legendary Seattle rock scene of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and in 1991 was dubbed the "Godfather of Grunge" by the British magazine The Independent.
