John Stewart- Auld Lang Syne
If you are a fan of John Stewart’s music and follow the music I post on this site you had to know this was going to happen.
In 1976, John was between labels. His relationship with record companies were always rocky and he knew that he had to present something really good to get their attention. What he came up with was an album that he recorded in two days in November of 1976. When he presented it to the record company one of the minor executives let him know that it wasn’t anything that they would be interested in putting out. John left the building and threw a copy of the tape to his friend Tom DeLisle. That was the last of it that John cared to talk about.
The music later wound up on the underground distribution that John’s fans had developed. It was known as The Piano Album.
In 2008, thanks to Tom DeLisle the cd was released on the Neon Dreams label.
This is the final song from the cd.
Thanks for posting that Paul, I’ve been trying to find a way to share John’s beautiful and personal redition of that old song…
How can I get this album?
