#392: The EP Collection
Legendary rocker Marshall Crenshaw releases his first new CD in more than six years, #392: The EP Collection. The album compiles all of the original songs and cover versions from the acclaimed six 10 EPs Crenshaw released over the last three years, with some of the songs featuring new mixes. There are also two previously unreleased bonus tracks, a live cover of the Everly Brothers Man With Money recorded with the Bottle Rockets and a demo of the Crenshaw rarity, Front Page News along with special liner notes penned by Crenshaw for this release. I ve been making records for most of my adult life, says Crenshaw, at this point in time I think that I ve mostly gotten the hang of it, and I still love doing it. I ve always put a great deal of care into the albums I ve made, Crenshaw says, and this is evidenced by the depth of his original songs contained here as well as the deft covers ranging from the Carpenters and James McMurtry to The Move and The Easybeats. #392: The EP Collection will be available as a CD containing the two Bonus Tracks and as a special Limited Edition 10 vinyl box set containing the six 10 EPs. This edition will each be personally numbered and signed by Crenshaw. Over the course of a career that s spanned three decades, 13 albums and hundreds of songs, Marshall Crenshaw s musical output has maintained a consistent fidelity to the qualities of melody, craftsmanship and passion, and his efforts have been rewarded with the devotion of a broad and remarkably loyal fan base. His debut album, "Marshall Crenshaw," was acclaimed as a pop masterpiece upon its release in 1982 and established him as a first-rate songwriter, singer and guitarist. The record spawned the Top 40 single Someday Someway, which rockabilly singer Robert Gordon covered and scored a hit with a year earlier. Other Crenshaw classics include (You re My) Favorite Waste of Time, Whenever You re On My Mind, There She Goes Again and Cynical Girl. The great songs continued with the Field day and "Life s Too Short" albums ( Fantastic Planet of Love ), three albums for Razor & Tie and the 2009 release, Jaggedland" ( Someone Told Me, Passing Through, Never Coming Down ).
