COBRASIDE - Key Persons
Abner Jay is an extraordinary one-man-band with one of the deepest emotive voices ever recorded. "Man Walked On The Moon" features Abner material from two different periods. Side A opens with an early deep 1970's version of his signature song "I'm So Depressed," which has never before been reissued on LP. The hit is followed by four previously unreleased songs from the same period - "The Royal Palm" (a classic train song), "Old Black Joe," "I'm A Hard Working Man," and his paen to space travel, "Man Walked On The Moon." All are sung and played by Abner with his standard one man band set up - electric banjo, drums played by his feet, and harmonica.

A most unusual & stunning album. Tsege Mariam Gebru is an Ethiopian nun who has dedicated her life to helping others. She has been composing & playing music on the piano since the 1960's. Her music is a unique mix of Western classcial music in the vein of Erik Satie, Ethiopian music & Religious Christian meditation music. On this reissue of her first LP, originally released in Germany in a very small pressing, we find Tsege Mariam Gebru playing her own compositions solo on piano. She plays with restrained grace & purity. We are very proud to present this LP - the first in a series of records we will be releasing with music culled from the monumental Ethiopiques CD series. Old school "tip on" cover.
