Black Diamond – Stan Ridgway 1995

The former Wall of Voodoo singer spins strange and surreal tales that keep you up at night. This album challenges more than a few of the assumptions that have been made about Stan Ridgway as a songwriter. Stan himself calls it "a song cycle for dreamers and schemers" and went on to say, "The songs took shape during the summer of '95, at a time when I was coming to grips with a lot of conflicting thoughts and feelings...And at the risk of sounding like some wounded folkie, this is probably the most personal record I've made so far." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
