Henson Cargill burst into the international spotlight with his
controversial crossover hit Skip A Rope in late 1967, By 1971 (after
further hits and a slew of great material) the wells at Monument Records
had run dry and Henson moved to the Nashville independent Mega Records, It
was here that Henson produced perhaps his finest material, the
challenging, earthy concept LP "On The Road".
Loosely themed around the Great Depression and tales of deprivation and
victory over adversity, "On The Road" is an album of staggering breadth
and humanity. "1932" tells of the blight of poverty, "Running From The
Rain" one man's flight from hardship to yearning, "Afraid To Rock The
Boat" a searing rejection of conformity and "Pencil Marks On The Wall" one
of the most heartbreaking tales of war and loss your will ever hear.
Collected here is all Henson's Mega era material plus a number of rare 45
only cuts, scholarly liner notes and period photos and ephemera, All
tracks make their very first appearance on CD.
Unfairly neglected over the years "On The Road" is a artistic triumph and
a compelling listen, Remastered 2009 from the original master tapes, Deluxe packaging, 20 page full colour booklet with scholarly liner notes,
rare photos, memorabilia etc, The complete Mega recordings (1971-1973) plus 10 very rare 45 only extra
tracks.
