Better than gold, by Big Kitty

Better than gold

by Big Kitty

supported by

Kai P A wonderful assortment of shaggy dog stories and lilting melodies, with the wit and charm that Mr Williams knows best how to bring. Not as powerful as previously releases, but so playful it's impossible not to get swept along. Favorite track: I Didn't Kill Elvis.

about

An album recorded "au naturale," in contrast to my recent releases. No overdubs here--all live performances, warts & all.

Some new words to old tunes here. If a tune isn't written by me, it's an old folk tune, and it's noted by each song. All the words I wrote.

"The Ballad of the Lost Levels" is purely fictional. I read that Miyamoto was depressed when making the Lost Levels, but that's all I know.
