Description
In 1994, Rhino Records released a 4-CD boxset Holy Soul Jelly Roll: Songs & Poems 1949-1993 assembled by the late great Hal Willner that gathered together an unprecedented and definitive collection of Allen's poems and singing. Long out of print, this forthcoming single disc both draws from and adds to Ginsberg's incredible body of recorded work. This new Material Wealth CD (an audio soundtrack to the book of the same name) will compactly explain to people, this is who the heck Allen Ginsberg was!
A lifetime of Allen Ginsberg's love, spirituality, passion, politics, culture, art in poem and song.
These classic, yet rare, and some previously unreleased poems and songs are a bible of bop prosody from one of the Holy Trinity of the Beat Generation.
Compiled and annotated by Pat Thomas - reissue producer of 2016's 3-CD The Last Word On First Blues which gathers Allen's 1971 to 1984 rock, blues and folk singing/songwriting and the reissue producer of the 2017 The Complete Songs Of Innocence And Experience by William Blake, tuned by Allen Ginsberg – his 1970 album of William Blake poems set to music and sung by Allen with additional recordings of the era including Buddhist mantras. Housed inside a 4-panel wallet with a 16-page booklet.
