LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

"The fuel to my success" Bob Dylan
"The most sensational comic of our time" Frank Sinatra
One of the bravest, best-loved artists America has produced, Lord Buckley adopted the argot of the streets of black America whilst posing as a sophisticated English Artistocrat, creating verbal symphonies of astounding originality by combining beat poetry with historical tales, Shakespeare soliloquies and stories from the Bible; at once manic, joyous and psychedelic. The Original Rapper; an inspiration to everyone from Lenny Bruce to Jerry Garcia to Jonathan Winters to Robin Williams to Bill Cosby.
