For Sarah, Raquel and David ~An Anthology - Legendary Stardust Cowboy (The)

For Sarah, Raquel and David ~An Anthology
Since his unique sound was first captured on tape in 1968, The Legendary Stardust Cowboy has whooped, riffed and hollered his way through a career spanning six decades on the outer limits of stardom. Regularly lauded, and even covered, by David Bowie, and a cult hero amongst those in the know since the late sixties, The Ledge has recorded and released a series of amazing albums and singles, laying the foundations for Psychobilly and making numerous interstellar proclamations in the process. This two disc anthology gathers together the high points and key tracks from The Ledge's career, as selected by the artist himself and his current, long established crop of supporting musicians.

This 2CD set features the classic early Mercury singles Paralyzed , I Took A Trip (On A Gemini Spaceship) and Kiss And Run , extracts from the Rock-It To Stardom , Retro Rocket Back To Earth , Rides Again and Tokyo albums, a number of 7 only tracks, and some brand new, previously unissued recordings. The standard is always sublime, and any fan of the wilder side of Americana won t fail to be intrigued. Lazily file under Outsider Music , but expect much more from this true original a man who s biggest hit, rightly or wrongly, often appears in lists of the worst recordings ever made, and whose 61 Chevy Biscayne was once emblazoned with the legend NASA Presents: The Legendary Stardust Cowboy!

Press:-

"Recorded from 1968 up to the present day, this is outsider music in its truest form, and his songs have been highly influential. Those comprised of primitive, unhinged yelps, hollers, grunts and growls over frenzied strumming, bugle playing and wildman drumming set the template for the 80’s rockability psychosis and the garage disease generation, inspiring The Cramps et al.”
