Compilation culled from Abners' self released LPs & 7"s featuring hits such as 'I'm So Depressed,' 'Cocaine', 'Vietnam,' & 'The Reason Young People Do Drugs.' Abner Jay was a one-man band He plays the guitar or 6-string electric banjo, harmonica and bass drum and high hat with his feet.

A singer/songwriter deserving of a wider listening audience than he received in his day.

This is the first vinyl release of his material since the 1970s and is a true classic. Great soulful folk / folkie blues.

LP includes three inserts including a biography, an informative pamphlet about Abner & a press statement all penned by Abner himself.

Tip on jacket. Thank you to Brandie Jay.
