Includes 12" square insert with song lyrics. All Selections Copyright © 1973 Upfall Music Corporation, 161 West 54th Street, New York, New York 10019. In 1973, Nashville producer Bob Johnston’s musical reputation was at a formidable peak, his productions gracing the likes of Dylan (from Highway 61 Revisited to New Morning), Simon & Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash’s 60s prison run and even Geordie folk-rocker outfit Lindisfarne’s hugely-successful Fog On The Tyne. One evening in 1973, a little-known Indiana singer-songwriter called Bill Wilson knocked on Johnston’s back door, asking to make an album.
Admiring his nerve, the producer let Wilson sing and was sufficiently impressed to round up Nashville session royalty to record a whole album that same night. Ever Changing Minstrel was released that year on Columbia, but became buried in inter-company shenanigans and bad management. In the kind of fairytale RC readers could probably identify with, Tompkins Square honcho Josh Rosenthal happened on a copy for 25 cents in a Berkeley record store last January, and now releases it with the label’s customary astute annotation.
While Wilson died from a heart attack in 1993, Johnston is delighted to see this unsung classic see the light of day once more. Imbued with the kind of natural magic the producer had drawn out of previous studio charges, Gibson’s soulfully mellifluous voice flows through a haunted array of outlaw narratives, ripping folk yarns, gospel celebrations, hazy blues and heart-rending country ballads such as To Rebecca. Without doubt, the year’s public service release for Americana devotees.
