It's such a lovely piece of music. The long running "Blues Before Sunrise" radio show out of Chicago uses Albatross as their sign off song.

Love this! I think the concept might be better than the execution, but still.

I could see a shorter edit where you skip the first 40 minute section, but I really appreciate the third 40 minute part more after hearing the first two sections.

Multiples and live in Lisbon are super classic

Considering getting a CD R drive up if people want copies of stuff via mail. Can’t do computers atm as mine is broken

Such a simple tune but somehow i never get tired of it. A miracle. Phantastic project, thanks for pointing that out. It gets rougher & bluesier, I like that. Just 18 minutes in.

I loved that Fassbinder used "Albatross" as the theme music for World On A Wire.
