Album Description
Best known as a legendary actor, Jack Palance did record an album in 1969 for Warner Bros. that recalls the wacky country-rock music vibe of Lee Hazelwood's albums of the same time period. Recorded in Nashville with the usual studio cats, the album is a playful country-rock romp not unlike other late 60's Nashville recordings. Fans of Lee Hazelwood, Johnny Cash and Scott Walker will love this album. Featuring Palance's self penned classic song 'The Meanest Guy That Ever Lived'. A 20 page booklet with new and detailed liner notes (and rare photos) is included. 11 remastered tracks. Water. 2003.
Customer Reviews
After all these years...
It was a real pleasure to hear this album again after so many years. I was pretty much a novice engineer when I recorded this album in 1970. I remember being very nervous about working with such a famous person but he immediately put me at ease. He really was such a nice guy and a gentleman. I was greatly surprised to find that he had a very nice singing voice, something I did not always find in other actor/movie star types that I worked with. After listening again to this album after so many years I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out pretty danged good for a relatively new engineer.
Light joint. Push play.
This is an excellent album. Nobody's going to confuse Palance with Pavarotti, but if you like your vocals a little rough around the edges, give this a try.
Avoid this CD
Although this may be the worst LP album ever to make it to CD, it does not even qualify as good kitsch. Well maybe one tune, "Goodbye Lucy," is worth a laugh and a groan for the lines,credited to Palance, "Everyone said I was a groovy cat. Some of them said I was better than that. Everyone said I turned them on."
