GRAMMY winner John McEuen's new album, 'The Newsman', is a first for the acoustic music legend who helped to define the trajectory for bluegrass and acoustic-rooted music in the mid 1970s as a member of The Nitty Gritty Dirty Band. The album's 11 tracks are all spoken word renditions of poems from the 19th and 20th century that McEuen has been collecting over the course of his 50 year career. Each story is told in McEuen's engaging baritone, adorned by his unique instrumental compositions informed by his many years of scoring films. From the opening title track, which is a true story about a man who sold newspapers and was a tremendous influence on the young musician in Los Angeles, to the final cut, 'Julie's Theme,' inspired by Jules Verne telling a friend, in a French cemetery, about his recently deceased young wife, McEuen presents an album of mini-stories at once inspirational and deeply emotional.
