Mayo Thompson - Corky's Debt to His Father

Re-release of the 1970 LP originally on the short-lived but nonetheless legendary Texas Revolution label of Walt Andrus. It was produced by Thompson, Frank Davis and Roger 'Rocket' Romano. Mayo Thompson was born in 1944 in Houston, Texas and he is an American musician/visual artist best known as the leader of the avant-garde rock band Red Crayola (Krayola). Corky's Debt shows Thompson at his most accessible with unique ballads, Blues, Rock and Love songs flow one to another with style, grace and intensity into the handlings of diverse popular-music idioms and language that characterize his more widely known work in the Red Crayola. It evokes the early days of acoustic blues, but it is already in the maelstrom from which punk rock would emerge just a few years later. 11 tracks. Drag City Records. 2008.
