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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Newsman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFly Trouble\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cremation Sam McGee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Rivers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Guitar of Pineapple John\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKilled At The Ford\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNui Ba Den\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Clay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'll Be Glad When They Run Out of Gas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mountain Whippoorwill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJule's Theme\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420744405377,"sku":"2245529","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0766397481821.jpg?v=1750620557","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2245529","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
