Description
After closing out his landmark Cinderella Sound trilogy, Mickey Newbury headed down the road to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and into Chip Young's Young 'Un Sound. The result was 1974's I Came To Hear The Music, a warmer, looser record than the albums before it, but no less adventurous. The sound effects and sweeping suites give way to something more direct. The songs stand on their own, with Newbury's tender, unguarded voice right at the center. This is the sound of an artist at ease in his own skin: reflective, full of quiet grace, and a reminder that Newbury could break your heart without raising his voice. Long out of print and passed between collectors for decades, I Came To Hear The Music has been transferred from the original master tapes and remastered by Clay Jones (Al Green, Elvis Costello, Modest Mouse). Produced by Chip Young.
