He’d just come off a year rambling around North America before settling in Colorado, landing a gig as a promotions rep for ABC-Dunhill. The weed was potent, magic was in the air, and Kunkel’s life was about to change forever. The San Fernando earthquake had spurred industry pals Bill Szymczyk and Larry Ray to join forces to form their own label—and get the hell out of California. The duo reached out to Kunkel who helped set up shop for their burgeoning Denver enterprise, Tumbleweed Records. Kunkel secured a headquarters, helped staff the label, and brought in talent, including Danny Holien, Pete McCabe, Dewey Terry. But Kunkel was itching to make a record of his own. Perhaps to repay him, Tumbleweed agreed. A longtime piano man and blues aficionado, Kunkel had the soul of a poet and the restless spirit of the jazz musicians he also worshipped. For his album, Kunkel wanted a jazz producer, and Szymczyk hired Ed Michel, then the head of Impulse Records, who brought on a string quartet and jazz legend Ray Brown and Wrecking Crew musician Jimmy Bond. Ostensibly a pop album at heart, _Abyss_ brings all of Kunkel’s influences together and vacillates wildly in style. From folky ditties to pensive wailers, Kunkel’s songs are often piano-driven but rarely straightforward. Tracks regularly veer off into jazz or baroque string arrangements, but there’s a raw quality—in the production and in Kunkel’s literary and at times earnest lyrics. It’s the album of a young and uninhibited musician who has realized a lifelong dream and who takes it seriously, but not too seriously. * First ever reissue * Newly remastered audio * Limited edition pressing of 600 with hand numbering * Includes gatefold jacket and 8 page book with unseen photos and liner notes by Sarah Sweeney * A portion of the profits will be donated to charity in memory of Robb Artist Robb Kunkel Genre Rock And Pop Label Future Days / Light In The Attic Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings You Were The Morning Whispermuse Country Blues O Light Abyss Monterrrey Ten Summers Airhammer Eddiie Playa de Bagdad Turn Of The Century Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Tim Presley The WiNK Rock And Pop | Drag City | 1LP Released 16th September 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tim Presley The WiNK £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Drag City SKU: DC662 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Modest Mouse Building Nothing Out Of Something Rock And Pop | Glacial Pace | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th April 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Modest Mouse Building Nothing Out Of Something £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Glacial Pace SKU: GPLP010EU Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Muddy Waters and The Rolling Stones Checkerboard Lounge Rock And Pop | Eagle Vision | 180g, 1LP, Includes DVD Released 6th September 2012 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Muddy Waters and The Rolling Stones Checkerboard Lounge £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Eagle Vision SKU: ERDVLP071 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes DVD Released Date: 6th September 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Flowerpot Men, The 1984 Rock And Pop | Demon | 1LP Released 14th April 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Flowerpot Men, The 1984 £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Demon SKU: DEMREC1108 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lucy Dacus Historian Rock And Pop | Matador | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th February 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lucy Dacus Historian £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Matador SKU: OLE1139LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Avril Lavigne Avril Lavigne Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 13th April 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Avril Lavigne Avril Lavigne £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1777 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Reich Pulse/Quartet Jazz | Nonesuch | 1LP Released 26th March 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Reich Pulse/Quartet £18.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Nonesuch SKU: 0075597932454 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beatles, The Past Masters Rock And Pop | EMI | 180g, 2LP Released 8th November 2012 £37.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Beatles, The Past Masters £37.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: EMI SKU: 6994351 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 8th November 2012 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Luluc Sculptor (Loser Edition) Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 10th July 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Luluc Sculptor (Loser Edition) £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1235X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eurythmics Revenge Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd July 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eurythmics Revenge £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19075811641 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
