Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 105CD

"Best known as a stellar songwriter ('Tobacco Road,' 'The Lament of the Cherokee Indian Reservation,' 'The Little Bird,' 'Break My Mind' etc etc, ad infinitum) John D.

Artist:	BARE, BOBBY
Title:	A Bird Named Yesterday/Talk Me Some Sense
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 106CD

"Bobby Bare is, in some ways, a deceptive artist. His smooth, beguiling baritone and accomplished Countrypolitan productions sometimes tend to overshadow the fact that he is an artist of immense substance. Two of his most impressive country-concept albums are presented here, restored and remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes, with a number of rare extra tracks. A Bird Named Yesterday was originally issued in 1967 and is, quite simply, stunning. 'Somebody Bought My Old Hometown' is probably the closest Nashville has ever come to an anti-corporate diatribe and 'They Covered Up the Old Swimming Hole' is a rant against the urban sprawl disguised as charming hick nostalgia. Most tracks make their first appearance on CD including a number of very rare 45-only cuts! A mighty and compelling collection. First time on CD! Deluxe collector's 16-page full color package featuring original LP artwork and exclusive liner notes. All tracks were remastered in 2006 from the original master tapes!"

Title:	Weird Scenes Inside The Birdhouse
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 107CD

"In the mid-1970s, we encountered a warmer and wiser Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan. Still producing fabulous oddball flourishes like 'The Cockroach Stomp' and 'Cows,' but now a little something new was brewing -- majesty and grandeur! Witness the astounding, lush string arrangements on 'Carolina Sundown Red,' 'Something On Your Mind' and 'Just One More Song' and the fantastic one-two punch of 'Down To The End Of The Wine' and 'Here Today And Gone Tomorrow.' Lovingly remastered, with five previously unreleased demo recordings (circa 1975) and an extensive booklet featuring unpublished photos and metaphysical commentaries from Jack Blanchard himself. All tracks make their first appearance here on CD."

Artist:	TRYTHALL, GIL
Title:	Country Moog/Nashville Gold
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 108CD

"In 1971, experimental music composer Gil Trythall was commissioned by Athena Records to record a Switched On Bach for 'country folk.' The resulting 1972 album, Country Moog is certainly unlike anything ever heard before (or since, for that matter). Equal parts virtuosic musicianship, bizarre musique concrete effects and just plain entertaining, the original album spawned a sequel, Nashville Gold, and was cited by Bob Moog as one of his favorite Moog recordings. Both albums are included here for their first appearance on CD with a number of rare or previously unreleased tracks. Deluxe collector's 16-page full color package featuring exclusive liner notes, historical photos and recollections from Gil Trythall himself. All tracks are remastered 2007 from the original master tapes."

Artist:	HAACK, BRUCE
Title:	The Electric Lucifer
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 110CD

"Bruce Haack's The Electric Lucifer is rightly considered one of the masterworks of 20th century electronic music. Originally recorded in 1968-69 (released in 1970), it's an eminently listenable work where pop-psychedelia and Moog/musique concrete sounds coalesce. Acclaimed upon its original release (one of Rolling Stone's favorite albums of 1970) yet unavailable for over three decades, The Electric Lucifer is presented here for the first time on CD. Remastered and restored from the original master tapes and featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks. Deluxe packaging, 24-page full-color booklet with exclusive notes, rare photos and interviews."

Artist:	JEAN, NORMA
Title:	I Guess That Comes From Being Poor
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 111CD

"If talent and sincerity brought fame then everyone would know her name. Instead today Norma Jean is unjustly considered little more than a footnote in country music history. These fine recordings tell of a much greater story. By 1972, the spotlight had waned for Norma Jean, but it's also the year that she recorded her greatest album, the country-concept opus I Guess That Comes From Being Poor. Remastered and presented for the first time on CD, with highlights from the excellent Body And Mind and Another Man Loved Me Last Night LPs. Singing from the heart about her own humble beginnings and often troubled life, Norma Jean delivered stinging tales in a soaring voice and a sugar coating. Deluxe packaging, 16-page full color booklet with exclusive notes and rare photos."

Artist:	REYNOLDS, MALVINA
Title:	Malvina Reynolds
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 112CD

"Malvina Reynolds was the grooviest grandma to ever strut across the folk singer stage. At the ripe age of 70 (in 1970) she joined forces with members of The Byrds, The Dillards, The Sunshine Company, producer Alex Hassilev (of fabulous folkies The Limeliters) and others to cut her self-titled psych-protest opus. With a heart of gold and an acid tongue, Malvina wraps her creaking, aching voice around the hot topics at the close of the tumultuous 1960s. Rounding out the collection are a handful of extremely rare 45-only cuts, alternate versions and six astounding previously-unreleased tracks. Lovingly remastered from the original tapes, all selections make their first appearance on CD here. Deluxe packaging, 16-page full color booklet with exclusive notes and rare photos."

Artist:	HAACK, BRUCE
Title:	Haackula
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 117CD

"Deemed to be too dark and offensive for release when it was recorded in 1978 and bootlegged ever since, this is the first official release of Haackula. Haack's anger with society is palpable as he hisses and cusses his way over elastic electronic backings. Imagine a very, very bummed-out Kraftwerk scowling as they play childlike melodies and sing under their breath of fear and abandonment. Also included for the first time is Haack's extraordinary 1982 collaboration with Russell Simmons on the track 'Party Machine' and the incredible 32-minute soundscape of 'Icarus' from 1979. All tracks make their first official release here and are lovingly remastered from the original tapes. Includes liner notes, photos and full lyrics."

Artist:	WAGONER, PORTER
Title:	The Cold Hard Facts Of Life/Soul Of A Convict
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 118CD

"Here for the first time on one CD are two of his very finest 'concept' albums (both originally issued in 1967) The Cold Hard Facts Of Life and Soul Of A Convict plus a number of rare 45-only tracks and versions. Superb showmanship and earth-cracking sincerity abound as Porter's cast of inebriates, cutthroats and troubled souls are captured on wax in all their moribund glory. Remastered from the original tapes and complete with original artwork and exclusive liner notes, these albums were recorded at a time of great tumult in Porter's personal and professional life and are without doubt the darkest jewels in country music's crown. 30 tracks on one CD including the hits 'The Cold Hard Facts Of Life,' 'Julie,' and 'Be Proud Of Your Man.'"

Artist:	AXTON, HOYT
Title:	My Griffin Is Gone
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 119CD

"Today Hoyt Axton is perhaps best known as the writer of such great songs as 'Greenback Dollar' (The Kingston Trio), 'The Pusher' (Steppenwolf) and 'Joy To The World' (Three Dog Night). Among the best of his records would be My Griffin Is Gone, his 1969 psych-folk opus. Running the gamut from pastoral musings like 'Way Before The Time Of Towns' to harrowing anti-war ruminations ('Beelzebub's Laughter') and moving meditations on drug abuse ('Snowblind Friend') the album was written and recorded during a time of personal hardship and LSD experimentation. This newly expanded edition features four mind-blowing tracks only available on 45 before and eight previously-unreleased tracks! Remastered in 2008 from the original Columbia master tapes with exclusive notes and rare photos."

Artist:	CLAYTON, PAUL
Title:	Sings Homemade Songs And Ballads/Folk Singer!
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 120CD

"The late Paul Clayton is the great 'could have been' of folk music -- the 'missing link' between Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Possessed of a strong voice and driving intellect he spent many years researching traditional songs and writing his own superb originals. Bizarrely neglected by history, Clayton is often cited for his profound inspiration on Bob Dylan yet his own sterling and pivotal recordings are all but forgotten. Among his varied and splendid discography the two LPs he cut for Monument Records are rightly considered the best and are presented here for the first time in over four decades. 28 remastered tracks from 1959-1965 released on CD for the first time. Includes four non LP singles."

Artist:	ROSE, BIFF
Title:	Biff Rose
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 121CD

"Biff Rose is well known as a wordsmith, satirist and vivid prankster. A 'flower-power' Tom Lehrer exploding across rollicking canvases of song best illustrated on his 1968 album The Thorn In Mrs. Rose's Side and 1969's Children Of Light. What is far less well known is that Biff Rose also had a serious side. Divorced and cast adrift his self-titled 1970 album is solemn, heartfelt and an undiscovered gem in his catalog. Grand orchestrations swirl around lyrics awash with loss and contemplation as they ride above Biff's dexterous tickling of the ivories. 14 tracks remastered and on CD for the first time."

Artist:	LEE, KATIE
Title:	Songs Of Couch And Consultation/Life Is Just A Bed...
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 131CD

...Of Neuroses. 2009 release. "Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...the cults of psychoanalysis and psycho-babble were just a gleam in some misfits eye. Here, those pseudo-sciences are lampooned to delirious effect. The teaming of folk-cabaret chanteuse Katie Lee with lyricist Bud Freeman and composer Leon Pober resulted in the 1957 satirical masterpiece Songs Of Couch And Consultation. Numbers like 'Repressed Hostility Blues' and 'The Will To Fail' have, if anything, gained more traction in today's over-analyzed, over-medicated world. The LP received rave notices and even spawned a sequel, 1960s Life Is Just A Bed Of Neuroses. Remastered sound with exclusive liner notes, rare photos, ephemera and extra tracks."

Artist:	JENNINGS, WAYLON
Title:	The Dark Side Of Fame
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 135CD

2010 release. "Conventional wisdom holds that in the era of the late '60s and early '70s Waylon Jennings was a tethered beast, shackled in the straight jacket of the Nashville Machine's conformity. But we beg to differ. Indulge us for a moment and really listen to the 28 brooding, blistering sides collected here. Witness the barely controlled menace of 'Don't Play The Game,' the sublime quasi-psychedelia of 'MacArthur Park' or the eye-gouging fuzz-tone of 'Six Strings Away.' This magnificent collection of pre-'outlaw' cuts proves that 'conventional wisdom' never got it more wrong and that Waylon Jennings never lived far from the wrong side of the tracks. Deluxe collector's reissue remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes and presented with exclusive liner notes, photos and a rare duet with fellow maverick Lee Hazlewood."

Artist:	WAGONER, PORTER
Title:	What Ain't To Be, Just Might Happen/Sings His Own
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 137CD

"Presented here for the very first time on CD are Porter's two greatest LPs from this era, both full of stark autobiographical moments. Most notorious of these is The Rubber Room, a 1971 chart hit over-brimming with pain and insanity. Other highlights abound: 'If I Lose My Mind' and 'Comes And Goes' both explore similar tortured terrain, while 'Albert Erving' describes a broken recluse and 'Be A Little Quieter' a man tormented by his ghosts. Remastered with love and care from the original RCA Victor master tapes and presented with exclusive liner notes, rare photos from Porter's private collection and a generous clutch of extra tracks (including a rare duet with Merle Haggard). Porter Wagoner was a consummate showman, songwriter and performer who clothed the darkest jewels from the human heart in a purple sequined countrypolitan sheen. Remastered in 2010 from the original RCA Victor master tapes. Deluxe packaging, twenty-page full color booklet with scholarly liner notes, rare photos from Porter's private collection, memorabilia, etc. Thirty-track CD. All original recordings."

Artist:	PARTON, DOLLY
Title:	The Fairest Of Them All/My Favorite...
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 138CD

...Songwriter, Porter Wagoner. "Two original LPs from the queen of country music on CD for the very first time. Before Dolly the pop icon. Before Dolly the cultural phenomenon. There was Dolly the most sublime songwriter and performer of her generation. The evidence is right here. The Fairest Of Them All is the greatest Dolly Parton album you've never heard, recorded over 1968 and 1969 and never issued in any form, it is a superb recording from start to finish. From the harrowing psychiatric depths of 'Daddy Come And Get Me' and the empowering heights of 'Just The Way I Am' to the most moving narrative in the Parton canon, 'Down From Dover.' 'Robert' tells of forbidden love; 'Chas' of passion that can never be. Dolly is at her creative peak, always breaking new ground. Also included is the 1972 LP My Favorite Songwriter, Porter Wagoner, a fine tribute to her mentor and companion through these years. Remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes, both albums appear for the very first time on CD and are presented in a deluxe collector's edition with exclusive liner notes, unpublished photos and two very rare extra tracks. Twenty-page full color booklet and memorabilia included. Twenty-three-track CD. All original recordings."

Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 139CD

Subtitled: Demented Surf/Electro/Exotica From Behind The Iron Curtain. "Deep from the darkest heart of Russia comes this terrifying amalgam of B-culture detritus and mutant retro-futurism. As incongruous as they are sublime, these gems of post-Soviet exotica craft the shuddering twangs of surf rock to elastic electro rhythms, rockabilly chops and theremin wails. Imagine Bruce Haack detained at the border by KGB operatives and thrown into the Gulag with the tortured remains of Dick Dale and Les Baxter. Twenty-six-track remastered compilation with deluxe packaging, twenty-page full color booklet with scholarly liner notes, rare photos, posters, original covers, and memorabilia." Artists include Messer Chups, Oleg Kostrow, Messer Fur Frau Muller, Kim & Buran and Supersonic Future.

Title:	The World Is A Monster: Columbia Hillbilly 1948-1958
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 140CD

"Out of the ashes of World War II, post-war corporate U.S.A would sully its hands with anything in search of a buck. Heck, even hillbilly music. Here, for the first time, are thirty-two of the grimiest, most delicious slabs of hillbilly misery and mayhem to grace the Columbia Records imprint. From the rhinestone noir of Rocky Porter's 'The World Is A Monster' and Johnny Bond's 'All I Can Do Is Cry' to the proto-feminist declaration of Polly Possum's 'Don't Talk To Me About Men' and the proto-punk loser's lament of The Maddox Brothers' 'Ugly And Slouchy.' More tears in your beer than you can count, more kick in your heels than a regiment of cavalry. Remastered with love and care from the original Columbia tapes in a deluxe collector's edition with rare photos and memorabilia."

Artist:	JACKSON, STONEWALL
Title:	Life Of A Poor Boy
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 141CD

"Stonewall Jackson is the epitome of hard drivin', pure honky tonk. Feisty, heartfelt and down-home tunes delivered from behind a plow or the bottom of a beer glass. From the late 1950s through the 1960s Stonewall cut a vast catalogue of fine music and many of the greatest and rarest of these cuts are presented here for the very first time on this 30 track CD. Tracks include tales of the good gone wrong ('I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water'), autocide ('Drinking And Driving') and suicide ('The Water's So Cold'). Things are sometimes bleak ('There's No Reason To Be Living') but never without hope or redemption ('I've Got To Change') though one might be a prisoner ('Thirty Links Of Chain') or buried alive in a coal mine ('While The Daises Grow Free')."

Artist:	KUBIN, FELIX
Title:	Bruder Luzifer
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 142CD

"For three decades Hamburg's Felix Kubin operated as an undercover sci-fi pop visionary. Lurching from seasick electronics to dramatic outsider songcraft, the highlights of Kubin's engaging teenage experiments ('Krematorien') and later pop masterworks ('Lightning Strikes') mingle here with electrified spaghetti-western romps ('Sab�ta') and terminal noise-spasms ('Dead End Brain'). Lovingly curated, this deluxe collector's edition 23 track CD features exclusive liner notes, unpublished photos, rare 7" sides and forgotten tracks spanning 1982-2010."

Artist:	GRANDPA JONES
Title:	Makes The Rafters Ring/Yodeling Hits
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 143CD

"When Louis Marshall Jones first adopted the stage persona 'Grandpa' in the 1930s he was not a grandfather at all, in fact he was barely twenty years of age. 'Grandpa Jones' soon became a renowned and respected performer of 'old-timey' and traditional songs, his youthful faced lined with stage paint, a handlebar moustache pasted on, his flaxen hair tinted grey and a battered banjo in hand. Flash forward three decades and Grandpa Jones made a unique and quasi-psychedelic sight on the Grand Ole Opry, a real grandpa (made up as a 'fake' grandpa) performing fantastic 'traditional' songs (often written by himself). This deluxe 32 track collector's edition presents two of his very finest 1960s albums, remastered from the original Monument master tapes with exclusive scholarly liner notes, rare photos and a clutch of extra excellent LP cuts and rare 45 sides. 20 page full colour booklet with exclusive liner notes and rare photos."

Artist:	SUMAC, YMA
Title:	Miracles
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 144CD

"Rumoured to be an Incan Princess (or a Jewish housewife from Brooklyn) there is one thing about Yma Sumac of which there is no doubt: her voice -- an astounding instrument both emotive and playful that captured the imagination of millions during the height of her 1950s Voice Of The Xtabay exotica-fame. After years of global adulation, tours behind the iron curtain and then a number of personal crises, Yma was ready to return to the spotlight in 1972. Flanked by original collaborator (King of Exotica) Les Baxter, this was to be no tired rerun of former glories but instead a blistering psyche-rock-exploitation opus! Yma growls and swoops her way over solid grooves, swirling keys and fuzz guitars." Includes 3 previously-unreleased bonus tracks.

Artist:	ORCHESTRA PETER THOMAS
Title:	Orion 2000
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 149CD

"The highpoint of a career that boasts the legendary Space Patrol (Raumpatrouille) and Chariots Of The Gods soundtracks, Peter Thomas' Orion 2000 is a near-mythical release that was only ever pressed in minuscule amounts as a German library LP (in 1975) and has never been available commercially before now. Drums pound, basses buzz, horns flail and star-maidens wail. Berserk electronic and musique-concrete effects collide with manic energy. There is nothing on this world (or any other) that sounds like the 'blaxploitation-kraut-jazz-in-space' sound of the Orchestra Peter Thomas. Remastered from the original master tapes and presented with exclusive liner notes, the original artwork, three extra previously unreleased tracks (15 total) and rare photos."

Artist:	SCIORTINO, PATRICE

Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 150CD

"In the world of sound library and production music French avant-garde composer Patrice Sciortino is both unique and universal. His astounding late 1960s and early 1970s recordings for the prestigious Musique Pour L'Image and PSI labels receive their first serious reissue and reappraisal here. Reissued for the very first time is his landmark 1970 LP Chronoradial plus a swathe of beautiful yet confronting, and incredibly rare, late 1960s French library cuts. Thirty-six track CD. All original recordings. First Official release on CD ever. Twenty page full color booklet with exclusive liner notes and rare photos. Ultra-rare French production music workouts that bare comparison to Bernard Herrmann and Ennio Morricone at their best."

Artist:	STONEMANS, THE
Title:	All In The Family
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 151CD

"Founded around 1920s Hillbilly recording star 'Pop' Stoneman, by the mid-1960s the group comprised Pop and five of his thirteen children. With a dizzying sound that melded old-timey traditions, sunshine pop and breakneck bluegrass jams, The Stonemans hit the country charts often but are now strangely forgotten. Mini-skirts and mandolins mutate through quasi-psychedelic visions of space ('The Five Little Johnson Girls'), identity fraud ('Christopher Robin') and suburban delirium ('West Canterbury Subdivision Blues'), while instrumentals like 'Bluegrass Ramble' cut and sear. For the very first time all of their chart hits and many astounding LP cuts are presented on this 34 track CD, remastered from the original master tapes and presented with exclusive liner notes and a treasure trove of fabulous photos."

Artist:	CURLESS, DICK
Title:	The Long Lonesome Road
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 152CD

"Known as 'The Baron of Country Music,' Dick Curless was a commanding vocal and physical presence. Possessed of a magnificent rumbling baritone, standing an imposing 6' 3" and eye-patched (due to genuine health problems) Curless battled drug and alcohol addictions for much of his life yet left a compelling catalog of music. The 1968 LP The Long Lonesome Road is perhaps his greatest album and is presented here in its entirety (including the bleakly autographical hit 'Bury the Bottle with Me') with 19 astounding extra cuts. They range from Curless' chilling trucker anthem 'A Tombstone Every Mile,' the stark 'Foggy Foggy Dew' to rollicking barroom laments like 'Loser's Cocktail' and the haunting anti-war ode 'Old Bob Burton.' Remastered from the original master tapes and presented with exclusive liner notes and rare photos. Twenty-nine track CD. All original recordings. Many tracks first time on CD."

Title:	Song Of The Second Moon
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 155CD

"Perhaps the most influential recording in the history of electronic music, Song Of The Second Moon is far more than an historical curiosity. For the very first time electronic music was conceived as popular music, an incredibly listenable m�lange of jazz and concrete stylings. Composed by Dutch Philips Research Laboratories employees Tom Dissevelt and Dick Raaijmakers (Kid Baltan) between 1957 and 1961, Song Of The Second Moon's dynamic and playful futurism would inspire legendary figures from Jean Jacques Perrey to Glenn Gould. For its premiere reissue we present the rare stereo version of the album with a multitude of outtakes, alternate and mono versions. 20 tracks, all original recordings. Remastered from the original Philips/Limelight master tapes in 2012. Twenty page full color booklet with exclusive liner notes and rare photos."

Title:	Hard Time Hungrys/The Winner...and Other Losers
Label:	OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	OMNI 156CD

"Built around a concept and songs supplied by maverick songwriter Shel Silverstein, Bobby Bare's Hard Time Hungrys is an astounding and affecting chronicle of economic depression and the people most buffeted by it. Recorded in 1975, the album is timelier than ever with its moving and good humored tales of the disenfranchised and their plight. From light-hearted odes to the life of poverty ('Warm And Free') to earthy tales of the hard scrabble ('The Farmer Feeds Us All,' 'Two For A Dollar') the album is profound and friendly. The following year Bare cut The Winner...And Other Losers an engaging set that features many highlights including one of the most bizarre spirituals ever committed to wax, 'Dropkick Me, Jesus.' Remastered from the original RCA Victor mastertapes in 2012. 24 track CD. All original recordings. Twenty page full colour booklet with exclusive liner notes and rare photos."
