Lust, murder, alienation, war, depravity and credit cards. Troubled times demand troubled troubadours. And here they are. 27 tales of misfortune, desperation, woe and just plain high weirdness, delivered by a stellar cast of country music luminaries. First up, Marty Robbins sits us in The Chair, the grizzly, bathetic final resting place of a man about to be electrocuted for his crimes. Next Waylon Jennings takes us to a haunting graveside confessional and then Dolly Parton takes her last steps high upon The Bridge. You get the idea. In that seminal epoch of the late 1960s and 70s, the times were a changin’ and it clearly wasn’t always for the better. Autocide, infanticide, deicide and the desire to transmigrate into a stuffed toy are just some of the low-lights presented for your masochistic/musical pleasure. Deluxe remastered collector’s edition with exclusive scholarly liner notes and rare photos. Most tracks make their very first appearance on CD.
