Moondog
The Viking of Sixth Avenue



Label: Honest Jon's Records
Country: UK

New York's unconventional and innovative artist Moondog (Louis Thomas Hardon) is often associated with artists like Sun Ra and Harry Partch, but his is a unique compositional voice that soaked up much of what is native, natural and unnatural about America. Blinded at age 16, he wandered the streets of NYC in unusual and flamboyant garb, much like the viking described in the title of this magnificent overview of Moondog's music. By 1947 he had taken the name Moondog and shortly after began his recording career, capturing the attention of musicians such as Stravinsky, Charlie Parker and Steve Reich. He performed through 1995, when he appeared at Queen Elizabeth Hall. This CD, in 36 tracks, presents pieces recorded from 1949 through 1995, including sources from 78s and other extremely rare records. An excellent insert provides photos, detailed biographical information and recording source information. Kudos to Honest Jon's for assembling this amazing set of legendary and unique recordings.
