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 Reuben Very Fast Very Dangerous Rock And Pop | Xtra Mile | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th July 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Reuben Very Fast Very Dangerous £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Xtra Mile SKU: XMR003LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Franz Ferdinand Always Ascending Rock And Pop | Domino | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th February 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Franz Ferdinand Always Ascending £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP408 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Zucchero Discover Rock And Pop | Blue Wrasse | 1LP Released 3rd December 2021 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Zucchero Discover £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Blue Wrasse SKU: 3898347 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sarah Kinsley Ascension EP Rock And Pop | Decca (UMO) [GB] | Jazz | Decca Records | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 17th November 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sarah Kinsley Ascension EP £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Decca (UMO) [GB] | Jazz | Decca Records SKU: 5592400 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beatles, The Sgt.
