THRIFTSTORE MASTERPIECE is a revolving music collective devoted to paying homage to the underdog records of years past. The debut album revisits Lee Hazlewood's 1963 lost classic "Trouble Is A Lonesome Town" and features Pete Yorn, Frank Black (Pixies), Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse), Courtney Taylor-Taylor (The Dandy Warhols), Eddie Argos (Art Brut), the late Larry Norman and more. In 1963, Lee Hazlewood released his debut album "Trouble is a Lonesome Town" to little fanfare. It, was a collection of solo acoustic songs stitched together with a narrative that described life in a fictional small town inhabited by outlaws, thieves, and down-and-out laborers. The album was hokey, but hip. Corny, but cool. It evoked a bygone era of pastoral American towns and their sometimesseedy underbellies, somewhat like a darker version of the Andy Griffith Show or a more sinister Prairie Home Companion. More importantly, it was a fully realized concept album that predated the trend that is so common in today' s music world. Hazlewood had originally intended the songs as demos for his publisher, in hopes that other artists might someday record them. A half century later, the music collective known as THRIFTSTORE MASTERPIECE has done exactly that. Record Label: Side One Dummy Style: Rock
