VA — Age Of Worry — From Country-Pop To Freak-Folk: The Space Age Relics Of Monument Records 1960-1970 (2017)

Smooth countrypolitan tones of doom, apocalyptic shag-cowpokes, anti-Vietnam war freak-folks, small-town hayseed-vignettes, ambulance-chasing bluegrass, red-baiting exploitation-jangle-folk-pop and wigged-out Nashville space-age instrumentals — you\’ll hear all that and much more on this extraordinary disc. Charting the tumultuous decade of 1960-1970, \’Age Of Worry\’ presents 28 somewhat nervous and seldom-heard oddities/obscurities from the depths of the Monument Records vaults. Somes outrageous, somes sublime — listen to Dave Rich lament the maudlin fate of \’The Runt\’, Rusty Draper on tortured suburban ennui and Captain Ty Herrington on emasculated masculinity. Something for everyone. *Reissued for the very first : From Country-Pop to Freak-Folk: The Space Age Relics Of Monument Records 1960-1970!*Exclusive scholarly liner notes by Alvin Lucia!*Full Dynamic Range 2017 Remaster direct from the first generation analogue master tapes!
