Psycho: The K-Ark and Allstar Recordings 1962-1969

In 2012 BEAR FAMILY RECORDS released Noack's classic honky tonk recordings, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a collection spanning the years 1948 to 1961. Now, the second compilation, Psycho - The K-Ark and Allstar Recordings, 1962-1969, is available. This set not only contains the two deranged cult classics (Psycho and Dolores) but offers other daringly abnormal songs like Invisible Stripes, Prisoner Of War and The End Of The Line.

Noack lived what he preached: his hardcore honky tonkin' eventually cost him his life. When some of those around him started sobering up, Noack kept smoking and drinking. He even wrote about it. Check out Sleeping Like A Baby (With A Bottle In My Mouth).

The CD is illustrated by award winning German graphic novel artist Reinhard Kleist. His adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft and Johnny Cash have already proven his knack for the darker aspects of the human experience. As a companion item, BEAR FAMILY is also issuing Psycho/Dolores as a limited 45rpm single with the Kleist illustration!
