The House That Jack Built
Phil A Johnson
The House That Jack Built is a house-music concept album by Chicago artist Phil A. Johnson that pays direct homage to the birth of Chicago house—the culture, the warehouses, the four-on-the-floor pulse, and the legendary “Jack” spoken-word gospel that helped define the genre. The project opens with the declarative “In The Beginning There Was Jack” and moves through tracks that celebrate the music’s roots and enduring spirit, including “House Music Forever,” “Jack Your Body Again,” “South Side Sanctuary,” “Warehouse Reverie,” “Our House Music,” “Four On The Floor Eternal,” “Hayes Drive (63rd Street),” and “The Foundation Remains.” True to PAJ’s catalog, the album blends deep grooves, South Side perspective, and a sense of cultural continuity—honoring the foundations of the sound while keeping the energy alive for a new generation. It stands as both a love letter to the house that Jack (and Chicago) built and a contemporary statement that the foundation still holds.
