Label:	KOCH

Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	KOC 6282DVD

"Bruce Haack was one of the most musically and lyrically inventive, but unknown artists in American history. Despite --or perhaps because of -- his audience, his music was unusually expressive, combining homemade analog synths, classical, country, pop and acid rock elements with surreal lyrics. His music evolved from his passion and creation of numerous children's albums but today his work has inspired the likes of world renowned musicians such as Beck and Beastie Boys' Money Mark. One can only wish they had a mentor like Bruce Haack, a dude so cool his swan song was a rap collaboration with hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons. Packed with mind-blowing visuals, wild music and far out stories, Haack follows the King of Techno as he drops in on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and golden game show host Garry Moore." NTSC format DVD video, Running time: 70 minutes. Audio: Dolby Digital; Aspect Ratio: 4 x 3; 5.1 surround sound. New lower price.

Artist:	DALTON, KAREN
Title:	It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best

1997 reissue of this folk classic, originally released on Capitol in 1969. "In 1960's US folk circles, the free-spirited Karen Dalton's extraordinarily emotive voice was revered by all who heard it. Yet while the Oklahoma native had been at the epicentre of New York's coffeehouse scene at the start of the decade, singing and playing alongside such legends-in-waiting as Bob Dylan, Tim Hardin, John Sebastian, Richie Havens, Phil Ochs and Fred Neil, she didn't make a record until the decade's tail-end. The result, though comprised entirely of covers and recorded live in the studio in a single overnight session, is spellbinding. Her cracked and world-weary voice, sounding constantly on the verge of tears is the thread connecting the surprisingly varies songs, though the spidery backing (added later and including lead guitar from Kim King, late of cult Venet proteges Lothar & The Hand People) is exceptionally sympathetic. Taking in songs by her friends Fred Neil and Tim Hardin, as well as older standards by Huddie Ledbetter and Jelly Roll Morton, a consistently fragile, melancholy mood is sustained without becoming maudlin. Her heartbreaking rendition of the title track is stunning."
