Description
Charles Amirkhanian introduces the satirical Country & Western music of painter/composer Terry Allen. Selections from his albums "Smokin' The Dummy" and "Lubbock (on Everything)" are heard. Allen has worked with the Panhandle Mystery Band, an ensemble of long time C&W veterans who seem tolerant and supportive of the younger composer's wacky and surreal lyrical bent. All the favorites including "Truckload of Art" will be heard on this outsized retrospective of an artist who combines the musical sensibility of a Lyle Lovett with the artistic imagination of a David Lynch.
