Rex Allen Jr- Today's Generation
Certainly there is nothing else in the Country Music canon quite like Rex Allen Jr..'s "Today's Generation". Promoted upon it's release in 1970 as " Underground Country", it is an album both ornate and very listenable. But no amount of adornment with electric sitars, melotrons and harpsichords can disguise the fact that this is also a howl of pure, neglected, post-adolescent angs. Obsessed with mortality, guilt, conformity, the Vietnam war and drug experimentation, Rex was clearly at a "troubled" juncture in his life. Imagine the Tibetan Book of the Dead as voiced with all the gothic undertones and crooner inflections of a southern Scott Walker and then interpreted by A-list Nasville session players. Remastered in 2008 from the original master tapes. Deluxe packaging, 24 page color booklet with exclusive notes, interviews and rare photos etc.
Tracklist:
- Younger Generation, The
- I Back Up
- Children, The
- You Weren't There
- Other Husbands and Wives
- Home Song (Dreams of What May Come)
- Wake up Morning
- Father Needs a Man, The
- Push to the Ground
- Black Skies
- Corners of My Life, The
- Blow the Winds Away
- Country Comfort
- When Two Worlds Collide
- (Hidden Track)
