John D. Loudermilk

Open Mind of John D. Loudermilk Remastered edition

27 Track Cd Anthology of Nashville Psyche-Pop from legendary songwriter! Best known as a stellar songwriter (Tobacco Road, Indian eservation, This Little Bird, Break My Mind etc etc, ad infinitum!!!) John D. Loudermilk was also an accomplished, inspiring singer-songwriter before the term even existed. The Open Mind of John D. Loudermilk is his 1969 psychedelic Nashville opus! Sitars blaze and otherworldly voices rail on the opening cut Goin' To Hell On A Sled, but this is no mere wigged-out cash-in record. With a palette ranging from the gentle organ tones of Laura, to the striking relevance of The Jones' and Peace of Heart, few records of such wit, compassion and intelligence have ever been committed to tape. Remastered and restored with love and care this album is presented here for the first time on CD. Present also are a slew of tracks from Loudermilk's astounding and appropriately titled 1965 album Sings a Bizarre Collection of the Most Unusual Songs. In the mood for a Christmas tune about radioactive snow? Then try No Playing in the Snow Today. A hunter's graveside epiphany perhaps? Certainly, that would be The Little Grave. Psychedelic, evocative, intelligent Nashville pop from one of the greatest songwriters of all time! First time on CD! Deluxe collectors 16 page full colour package featuring original LP artwork, exclusive liner notes and original artist's track notes. All tracks are remastered 2006 from the original master tapes! Compiled and curated by noted musician (Snog, Soma, Black Lung) and film composer David Thrussell.
