Curly Putman - World of Country Music / Lonesome Country (CD)

Claude 'Curly' Putman Jr.. is truly one of the titans of Nashville songwriting. His hits are ubiquitous Green Green Grass of Home Elusive Dreams D-I-V-O-R-C-E and countless others. What is far less known is that Curly was also a fine recording artist. Collected here for the very first time are his two late '60s LPs for the ABC label. An emotive and honest vocalist Putman compellingly shares his tales of jailbirds incarceration heartbreak and isolation. More surprising perhaps are quasi-psychedelic moments of self-reflection like Talking to the Grass and suburban dysfunction like Who Loves Who. 22 track deluxe collector's edition remastered from the original tapes with exclusive liner notes rare photos and a rare 45 only side. 20 page full color booklet with exclusive liner notes and rare photos.
