    Mickey Newbury's commitment to the power of song is imperative to me Will Oldham

    One of the best singers I have ever heard in any kind of music¦ his voice blows my mind Steve Earle

    "I learned more about songwriting from him than any other writer Kris Kristofferson.

    Newbury songs have been recorded by performers like Johnny Cash, Scott Walker, Ray Charles, Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, the Box Tops, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Nick Cave.

    'An American Trilogy' (Elvis Presley), 'Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)' (Kenny Rogers and the First Edition), 'She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye' (Jerry Lee Lewis), 'Funny, Familiar, Forgotten Feelings' (Tom Jones)'?just some of the timeless compositions in the Newbury catalogue.

    But Mickey himself was by far the best interpreter of his own songs. Recorded between 1969 and 1973 at a home studio in Madison, Tennessee, called Cinderella Sound'?in reality, a converted 2-car garage owned by guitarist and engineer Wayne Moss'? and backed by the same musicians who played on Dylan's late 60s Nashville recordings, the albums that constitute An American Trilogy are regarded as key works in Mickey's canon as a recording artist.

    A visionary album in the vein of Love's Forever Changes and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, Looks Like Rain immerses the listener into a vividly-painted emotional landscape of heartbreak, madness and despair. Mickey followed this masterpiece with another, 1970's 'Frisco Mabel Joy'?recently voted number 6 in an Uncut reader's poll of the 50 greatest 'lost' albums and described by Mojo as an hallucinatory suite of sad, soulful songs. The cycle of Cinderella Sound albums ended in 1973 with a third epic, Heaven Help The Child.

    Peter Blackstock, the editor of No Depression magazine, has said of these records: There may be no more fully realized cyclical trinity of albums in American popular music. Once you've heard them you'll understand why.

    This vinyl comes in a limited edition of 1000 copies, hand-numbered on 180-gram vinyl, with cover art that reproduces Jasper John's 1970 lithograph, Scott Fagan Record'.

    Includes a Download Card.


    Originally released on Atco in 1968, Scott Fagan's bewitching debut is a genuine lost classic - a mystical, mythical, deeply-soulful folk-rock masterpiece. This reissue has been remastered from the original tapes and released by Saint Cecilia Knows in association with Fagan's label lil'fish records. 

    In 1969, artist Jasper John came across South Atlantic Blues in a cut-out bin, bought the record and used it as the inspiration for three artworks that are in museums and galleries such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA, the Walker Art Center and the National Gallery in Washington D.C.

    1. In My Head
