Loren Connors - Night Through - Singles &; Collected Works '76-'04

! This heralded collection -- a cornerstone of avant blues guitarist Loren Connors' discography -- has been out of print since
January 2007. It is an essential 3xCD set of singles by Connors, one of America's most unique and challenging voices. Night Through spans four decades of recordings from Connors' earliest acoustic session and first solo 7" -- Ribbon o' Blues on St. Joan -- to rare singles issued by Table of the Elements, Road Cone, Father Yod, Menlo Park, Gyttja, Union Pole, and others, to his late 90s band Haunted House and recent acoustic recordings. Overall, three and half hours of music: 12 7" singles, private CDR releases, collaborations with Suzanne Langille and Robert Crotty, compilation appearances, and 22 unreleased pieces including a 1959
recording by Connors' mother Mary Mazzacane. 24 page color booklet contains detailed notes and cover art for each single, never before seen photographs, an essay by renowned blues scholar Dr. William Ferris and commentary from Connors, Langille, Road Cone's Mike Hinds and others. Remastered from the original tapes by Jim O'Rourke, this is the definitive overview of Connors' journey as the consummate solo artist from embryonic origins in New Haven, CT to the rise as a monumental presence and spirit channeler.
