ED ASKEW
Here We Are Together Again B/W Yellow Dollars
IND 086 7"
This is the last of the vintage, tipple era Askew, before the fingers cramped and began tickling digital ivory. These 2 wondrous cuts would’ve been included on the Little Eyes CD if time were not space. Wonderful live versions, of “Here We Are Together Again” and “Yellow Dollars”, taken from David Porter’s Show on WYBC, Nov 1969. These songs are the topical concern of that or any era (Love and War) and what else is there anyway?
--------------------------------------------------
Brilliant outsider folk from
1970. Ed Askew cut one record for ESP in 1969 and this was to be his
follow-up, but the label ran out of money making this the first release
of this material. Little
Eyes is even better than his first album. He
plays an adapted lute and piano and the whole record was recorded in
one take. Quality wise, it ranks right up there with the very best of
Pearls Before Swine. Limited pressing. Awesome.
