**Jack Logan** (born February 8, 1959) is an American singer-songwriter born in [Greenville, Mississippi](/source/Greenville,_Mississippi) and raised in [Lawrenceville, Illinois](/source/Lawrenceville,_Illinois). He began recording, however, after moving to [Winder, Georgia](/source/Winder,_Georgia). He created two comic books in the 1980s, starring [Peter Buck](/source/Peter_Buck) of [R.E.M.](/source/R.E.M._(band)) as a superhero, and the connection to Peter Buck led to [Twin/Tone Records](/source/Twin/Tone_Records)' [Peter Jesperson](/source/Peter_Jesperson)'s interest in releasing some of Logan's material. He also drew a comic book that was included with LP copies of [the Coolies](/source/The_Coolies) second album, *Doug.*

His first release was the critically acclaimed *[Bulk](/source/Bulk_(album))* which contained 42 songs from the approximately 600 Logan had recorded from 1979 to 1993. Both Bulk and Logan's next album, *[Mood Elevator](/source/Mood_Elevator)*, received four stars in *[Rolling Stone](/source/Rolling_Stone_(magazine))*. Logan has worked with Kelly Keneipp, [Vic Chesnutt](/source/Vic_Chesnutt), Bob Kimbell, Kevin Lane, Aaron Phillips and Rob Keller. The backing band for his albums *Buzz Me In* and *Monkey Paw* albums was [The Possibilities](/source/The_Possibilities).[1][2] His most recent releases are 2013's *Bones in the Desert*, a self-released vinyl LP recorded with Scott Baxendale, and 2015's *What Is This Some Kind of Joke?,* another vinyl-only release, this time recorded with The Roach Brothers.

Logan guest-starred as himself on a 1997 episode of [Cartoon Network](/source/Cartoon_Network)'s *[Space Ghost Coast to Coast](/source/Space_Ghost_Coast_to_Coast)*.
