Conceived by executive producer Michael Minzer for his Paris Records label, the project was produced by Hal Willner, who brought Bill Frisell in as composer/arranger/conductor. Bill then assembled a stellar group of musicians including Curtis Fowlkes (trombone), Ron Miles (trumpet), Eyvind Kang (viola), Doug Weiselman (woodwinds), Jenny Scheinman (violin), Hank Roberts (cello) and Kenny Wolleson (drums, percussion). Ralph Steadman does double duty, portraying himself in the narration and contributing original artwork for the project.
In 2021, Kramer remastered the original audio for this historic re-release on limited-edition 'Horse-Shit Brown' vinyl for his Shimmy-Disc label. In April 2020, Hal died of Covid-19 in his beloved NYC. He would have loved to hold one of these LPs in his hands. He'd have loved the smell of it, too. We love you, Hal. This LP is for you.
