Box 1402, Carrboro, NC 27510 www.paradiseofbachelors.com / [email protected] US/CA publicity: Jonathan Williger, [email protected] UK publicity: Lucy Hurst, [email protected] Everywhere else: [email protected] Legendary Texan artist Terry Allen occupies a unique position straddling the frontiers of country music and visual art; he has worked with everyone from Guy Clark to David Byrne to Lucinda Williams, and his artwork resides in museums worldwide. Widely acclaimed as a masterpiece, his deeply moving (and hilarious) satirical second album, a complex memory palace to his West Texas hometown Lubbock, is often cited as the urtext of alt-country. Produced in collaboration with the artist and meticulously remastered from the original analog tapes, this is the definitive edition: the first to correct the tape speed inconsistencies evident on all prior versions; the first U.S. vinyl reissue; the first CD to restore the full track listing; and the first to contextualize the record within Allen’s 50-year career. Deluxe 2×LP package includes tip-on gatefold jacket with lyrics, printed inner sleeves, download code, and 28 pp. book with related artwork and photos, an oral history by Allen, and essays by David Byrne, Lloyd Maines, and PoB. 2×CD edition features replica jacket, sleeves, and tipped-in 52 pp. book. “Lubbock’s got a hard bark, with little or no self-pity; its music has an edge that can be smelled, like Lewter’s feed lot. No one from Lubbock ever apologized for what they were or where they lived.” – Terry Allen (2016) Three hundred forty-four miles of “blue asphaltum line” separate Ciudad Juárez, Mexico from Lubbock, Texas.

  • Ferris Wheels, Gangsters and Valentine's
    Ferris wheels, gangsters and Valentine’s Day: Today, Feb. 14 Posted by Alan Van Wormer On 02/14/2018 February 14 is National Ferris Wheel Day Yes, I realize it is Valentine’s Day, and there’s more on that later in the article, so I figured to use the top part here to make you aware of another interesting Day of Observance. National Ferris Wheel Day celebrates the birth of the inventor of the ferris wheel, George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., who was born in 1859 in Illinois. In his early 30s the news that the 1893 World's Exposition to be held in Chicago drew Ferris to the city. In 1891, the directors of the Expo issued a challenge to American engineers to conceive of a monument for the fair that would surpass the Eiffel Tower, the great structure of the Paris International Exposition of 1889.The planners wanted something "original, daring and unique." Ferris responded with a proposed wheel from which visitors would be able to view the entire exhibition, a wheel that would "Out-Eiffel Eiffel." The planners feared his design for a rotating wheel towering over the grounds could not possibly be safe. Ferris persisted. He returned in a few weeks with several respectable endorsements from established engineers, and the committee agreed to allow construction to begin. Most convincingly, he had recruited several local investors to cover the $400,000 cost of construction. The planning commission of the Expo hoped that admissions from the Ferris Wheel would pull the fair out of debt and eventually make it profitable.
