448. Ryan Davis on Mayo Thompson 'Corky's Debt To His Father' (1970)

Today I'm joined by singer-songwriter Ryan Davis to talk about an album that defines the phrase cult classic - Red Krayola frontman Mayo Thompson's only solo album 'Corky's Debt To His Father'. We talk about how the album came and went on release, only to be rediscovered by later generations following reissues in the 90s and 00s, the combination of Thompson's idiosyncratic vocals and lyrics with the slick session backing band, the influence on Ryan's own lyrics and music and how Ryan managed to get Mayo Thompson to perform the album in full for the first time ever at his 'Cropped Out' music festival.
