Python Lee Jackson was a 1960s Australian band. The group's most famous hit was In a Broken Dream (1968) featuring Rod Stewart on vocals.
Recorded in London in 1969, In a Broken Dream languished until the mid-70s when it rose to number three in the British charts and the middle reaches of the US Hot Hundred.
In Europe, the song became something of a classic. It turned up on the sound track of films and documentaries (including the acclaimed art house movie Breaking the Waves) and became the subject of many cover versions.
Rod Stewart included the song on two anthologies of previously recorded work...and, in the mid-90s, a young English band, Thunder, delivered a high octane reading that propelled it into British charts for the second time.
Most recently, In A Broken Dream surfaced on the leading edge of a collection of songs recorded by British singer Kathryn Williams - along with songs by Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Kurt Cobain.
