Title: Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved
Artist: Hunter S. Thompson
Label: Shimmy Disc
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 602309902407
Genre: Comedy
Release Date: 2022-07-29

Additional Details: CLEAR VINYL
For the first time ever released on vinyl, this brilliant 2012 LP features an all-star cast of musicians and actors lead by Tim Robbins, Dr. John, Bill Frisell, Ralph Steadman, Annie Ross, John Joyce III and Will Forte. Hunter S. Thompson's classic Gonzo reportage on the 1970 Kentucky Derby is summoned brilliantly to life through spoken word and musical composition. Conceived by executive producer Michael Minzer for his Paris Records label, the project was produced by Hal Willner, who brought Bill Frisell in as composer/arranger/conductor. Bill then asesmbled a stellar group of musicians including Curtis Fowlkes (trombone), Ron Miles (trumpet), Eyvind Kang (viola), Doug Weiselman (woodwinds), Jenny Scheinman (violin), Hank Roberts (cello) and Kenny Wolleson (drums, percussion). Ralph Steadman does double duty portraying himself in the narration and contributing original artwork for the project. In 2021, Kramer re-Mastered the original audio for this historic re-release on limited-edition 'Horse-Shit Brown' vinyl for his Shimmy-Disc label. In April 2020, Hal died of Covid-19 in his beloved NYC. He would have loved to hold one of these LP's in his hands. He'd have loved the smell of it, too. We love you, Hal. This LP is for you. - Kramer, March 2022
