Description
You are bidding on an original 1980 Crossroads LP, It is one of the few originals from the only box not thrown away years ago. Unfamiliar with Crossroads or Kenny? Just Google for TV and radio segments on how an old musician was finally discovered after 35 years. In short, Crossroads was discovered by collector Michael Klausman, who brought it to the attention of Numero Group and Paradise of Bachelors, who remastered, and re-issued in 2015. Crossroads recalls a homebrew American Beauty-era Grateful Dead in its world-weary, low-key mood and indelible songwriting. Faded, anxious, melancholy, and beautifully woozy. Highly recommended if you like The Youngbloods, Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, Lawrence Hammond, F.J. McMahon, pedal steel guitars, and Leslie speakers. “There’s a very singular combination of heartsickness and hope running throughout Crossroads, a still timely grappling with the realities of getting by in this country. You can hear it most clearly in ‘America,’ which is both a paean to this nation and a plea to it: ‘don’t lock me out.’ This juggling of sophisticated dualities extends even to his love songs, as on “One Down” (possibly the album’s finest track, and one which could sit comfortably next to American Beauty’s best), where he asks, ‘how much can one heart take?’ while still acknowledging that he’ll ‘stay in love forever more.’” – Michael Klausman. This is an original, and can be sent signed, or unsigned, your choice. We can ship anywhere, just pay actual shipping and insurance fees. Thank you for your support of an Old musician still trying to make it.
