After 7 years in the business with 49 titles under their belt ranging from French provocateur Serge Gainsbourg to Detroit psych-soul master Sixto Rodriguez how does Light In The Attic celebrate its 50th release? By bringing you their pinnacle album to date
Over 5 years in the making, and with the attention to detail and elaborate packaging the label is known for, LITA050 is none other than the never-before-released 1968-72 demos of Texas-born maverick songwriting legend Kris Kristofferson.
With the outlaw highwaymans full blessing LITA presents Kristoffersons honest and upfront formative takes on the tunes that would eventually become part of the great American songbook.
Since penning these numbers (many of which were written during the late-to-mid 60s while working as a janitor for Columbia Records in Nashville), over 500 artists including patron saint Johnny Cash , one time lover Janis Joplin, and co-actor Bob Dylan (to name but three) have covered Kristoffersons material.
While we shouldnt forget his vast commercial accomplishments as an award winning recording artist and actor in more than 70 films (working under Martin Scorsese and Sam Peckinpah) , its these soul-stirring demos that laid the groundwork for his rough and tumble creative journey.
Mega-Limited 180g Lavish Gatefold Vinyl.
