'Bob Dylan worshipped Paul Clayton' - Anthony Scaduto (Bob Dylan: An Intimate Biography)
Paul Clayton is the great 'could have been' of folk music - the 'missing link' between Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, Possessed of a strong voice and driving intellect he spent many years researching traditional songs and writing his own superb originals, Bizarrely neglected by history, Clayton is often cited for his profound 'inspiration' on Bob Dylan yet his own sterling and pivotal recordings are all but forgotten, Among his varied and splendid discography the two LPs he cut for Monument Records are rightly considered the best and are presented here for the first time in over four decades, Highlights abound, amongst them the rousing openers Durango Jail and Last Cigarette, Who'll Buy You Ribbons (later openly appropriated by Dylan as 'Don't Think Twice, It's Alright'), the moving Young But Growing and Life Is A Toil.
Both Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' and Dylan's 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' are examples of songs by the feted and the famous rumoured to be about or dedicated to Clayton, Burnt out, professionally and personally, Paul Clayton tragically took his own life in March 1967 and this once bright star has waned until now.
Remastered from the original Monument master tapes with love and care both these LPs (and the four non-LP 45s also included) all make their definitive first appearance on CD here with rare photos and exclusive liner notes, Please put your hands together for the overlooked genius of Paul Clayton.
