The song, "In '59", is the lengthy opening track from the brilliant Mickey Newbury album, "A Long Road Home". The spoken word introduction I've edited in before the song is Kris Kristofferson speaking of the influence Mickey Newbury had on his own life and work. This excerpt comes from a compelling two-disc aural biography of Newbury by the late San Francisco radio legend, Ron Lyons, called "Mickey Newbury: An American Treasure". Well worth looking for. As for "A Long Road Home," it is, considering Mickey's failing health at the time of its making (he was on oxygen), not only a masterful album of autobiographical depth and breadth, but a triumph for being made at all.

I've always said you can be Mick Jagger, or Lennon, or Elvis, or Metal, or Punk or Rap when you're out on the street, but when you get home, you're Mickey Newbury, facing yourself alone at 3am. And Mickey has a song for you, right there, right then. It's still true.

Most music folk in the UK think Dylan is the greatest poet and songwriter to come out of the States but most folk in the UK have not heard of Mickey Newbury. Those of us who" Know" never argue the point , just lend them a CD and wait for their hearts and minds to switch on. Dylan, for all his talent does'nt make you cry, ever. Newbury does as music sometimes should. Thanks for the great mix of music and images.
