Alive In New York City - Vinyle Blanc

Description

Alive in New York City by Daniel Johnston is a complete performance recorded live in New York, his dream city. Daniel is at the height of his art, with his solo voice in full power. A true time capsule, each song is a colorful gem forged by an artist devoted to his craft. This album captures him at an exceptionally happy moment in his life, sharing the deepest elements of himself with his audience. The physical rendering he gives to his lyrics transcends music and acts as a beacon in the tender mind of a genius - who struggles to learn how to love himself and find his place in the world. This 2000 concert, recorded and mixed live by Kramer in New York, took place on a very special night, and Shimmy-Disc is proud to offer it to the world, accompanied by 18 minutes of bonus material including some of the rarest treasures from Daniel Johnston's archives - a series of "phone demos" created by Daniel specifically to send to his friends by phone. These little teletexts from before 1990 have never been heard before, and fans of Daniel Johnston will delight in this precious discovery of the spirit of this unique and irreplaceable artist.
