DESCRIPTION
From the people who brought you Hillbillies In Hell... Smooth countrypolitan sides of Doom, Apocalyptic Shag-Cowpokes, anti-Vietnam War Freak-Folkies, small-town Hayseed-Vignettes, ambulance-chasing Bluegrass, red-baiting exploitation-jangle-Folk-Pop and wigged-out Nashville space-age Instrumentals - you'll hear all that and much more on this extraordinary LP... Charting the tumultuous decade of 1960-1970, 'Age Of Worry' presents 18 somewhat nervous and seldom-heard oddities, obscurities and treasures from the depths of the Monument Records vault. Sometimes outrageous, sometimes sublime - listen to Vern Stovall lament the maudlin fate of 'Code Alarm 7', Rusty Draper on tortured suburban ennui and Captain Ty Herrington on emasculated masculinity. A spellbinding disc of Country Pop, Bluegrass, Folk and Novelty sides all touched in one way or another by Cold War tension and the changing tides of 1960s society. Many of these 45 cuts are extremely rare and are reissued here for the very first time. Somehow, somewhere... something for everyone
