Description
This release from Honest Jons is the first overview of Moondogs amazing artistic life - including recordings spanning from 1949 till 1995, with numerous 78s and various other vanished records revived for the first time. Though the compilation is rooted in the decades Moondog regularly lived rough in New York City, performing on street corners - the Viking Of Sixth Avenue - at the same time it lays the musics claim to the future.
