MATTHEWS VINCE & JIM CAS - CD KINGSTON SPRINGS SUITE

Popis - KINGSTON SPRINGS SUITE:
An amphetamine-fueled, prophetic, loose and gritty, 1972
Polaroid snapshot into the lives of small town America gone by.
Championed by Johnny Cash (who penned the liner notes), and
produced by Shel Silverstein (along with Cash, Kris
Kristofferson, and Cowboy Jack Clement), the 'Suite' was the
talk of the Nashville outlaw underground. Nevertheless, it was
mysteriously shelved for 40 years. Vince Matthews and Jim Casey
were two of the best and wildest songwriters to emerge during
the brief, post-Dylan, artistic renaissance period in
Nashville. Their songs were recorded by a.o. Johnny Cash and
Waylon Jennings. The 'Suite' was their ambitious dream project,
intended to include film, slides, costumes, narration, and
songs. But things began to fall apart as Vince's ambitions grew
bigger and his craziness got crazier.
