Search - Henson Cargill :: On the Road: the Mega Years Plus

Henson Cargill burst into the international spotlight with his controversial crossover hit Skip A Rope in late 1967. By 1971 (after further hits and a slew of great material) the wells at Monument Records had run dry and Henson moved to the Nashville independent Mega Records. It was here that Henson produced perhaps his finest material, the challenging, earthy concept LP On The Road. Loosely based around the Great Depression and tales of deprivation and victory over adversity, On The Road is an album of staggering breadth and humanity. Collected here is all Henson's Mega era material plus a number of rare 45 only cuts, scholarly liner notes and period photos and ephemera. All 26 remastered tracks make their very first appearance on CD.
