KNIGHT, KENNY
CROSSROADS (PARADISE OF BACHELORS)
Label:
PARADISE OF BACHELORS
The first-ever reissue of the private-press country-rock rarity by Colorado auto body painter, Marine, and garage band lifer Kenny Knight-he played in the original 0s Black Flag-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, this out-of-time document belies its 1980 release date.
Produced in collaboration with Numero Group, it features liner notes by writer and collector Michael Klausman and Kenny himself.
