Claude ‘Curly’ Putman Jr. is truly one of the titans of Nashville songwriting. His hits are ubiquitous, “Green, Green Grass Of Home”, “Elusive Dreams”, “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” and countless others. What is far less known, is that Curly was also a fine recording artist. Collected here for the very first time are his two late ‘60s LPs for the ABC label. An emotive and honest vocalist, Putman compellingly shares his tales of jailbirds, incarceration, heartbreak and isolation. More surprising perhaps, are quasi-psychedelic moments of self-reflection like “Talking To The Grass” and suburban dysfunction like “Who Loves Who”. 22 track deluxe collector’s edition remastered from the original tapes with exclusive liner notes, rare photos and a rare 45 only side. 20 page full colour booklet with exclusive liner notes and rare photos.
