Review & Description
Who else but Loudon can go from sardonic attack to despairing confession to novelty song and never once seem like he's breaking character? One of the most singular songwriters to ever come down the pike gets his first box: 91 songs on 4 CDs plus his first DVD, which packs in three hours of rare and unreleased content including a 60-minute documentary and 38 performances (1975-2010). Those include duets with his kids Rufus, Martha and Lucy (as well as Christopher Guest!). On the CDs: songs from every album including his 1973 hit Dead Skunk ; early classics School Days; I Don't Care; Saw Your Name in the Paper , and Drinking Song ; '80s/'90s gems Your Mother and I; Thanksgiving; Men; The Picture , and The Acid Song ; recent triumphs High Wide & Handsome and Grey in LA , plus a slew of demos, duets, live cuts and more!
