Gregory Corso- Die on Me (PREORDER)
In the words of Hal Willner Excerpted from the original liner notes* (2002): "Michael Minzer and I had been trying to produce a Gregory Corso album for years. For our series that featured Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, as well as Kathy Acker and Terry Southern, Gregory was someone we needed to include - besides, he was always my favorite poet to listen to. He had a wonderful, romantic, and beautiful voice; his readings never lost the sense of the unexpected and dangerous."... "Somehow the record that emerged is (in my opinion) incredibly beautiful, moving, sad-but not depressing, and often funny. Not to sound silly, but I felt that we had help with this record from some unknown source that guided and directed it. Just writing about how the record was made makes it even more amazing to me that it got done at all- and I'm very proud that it came together in this way...."
