the red krayola -- magnificence as such

[bandcampsnoop]

4/5/24.

Mayo Thompson is one of those names that you know you know. Sure, I've heard of Mayo Thompson, and it seems like I've heard his work, but I certainly never heard "Corky's Debt To His Father".

Thompson is known for his work in The Red Krayola his work experienced a bit of a renaissance in the 1990s when several musicians in the Chicago music scene - Dan Koretzky, John McEntire, David Grubbs, George Hurley and Jim O'Rourke among many others. Drag City put out new releases from The Red Krayloa and also reissued this amazing LP from 1969.

Many people mention Bob Dylan when discussing "Corky's Debt To His Father". I find that it reminds me more of Ed Askew and Gram Parsons. Sometimes, I get a Ray Davies vibe too.

Thompson has worked with many bands over his career - Pere Ubu, The Chills and Felt are but three. But this album really does have a late 60s psych folk vibe. Thompson currently lives in California.

In 1970, Mayo Thompson released his only solo record to date. It's a strange thing to write 50 years later, especially given the Texas-born musician's wildly prolific career as the sole consistent member of the eclectic and enigmatic Red Krayola. Ignored in many circles upon its release, Corky has grown in stature over the decades, which -- much like the Red Krayola -- has achieved the status of cult icon. Thompson has begun playing the album live in recent years, as he chart the course for a potential sequel, half a century later.

THE RED KRAYOLA with ART & LANGUAGE

[c-40]

A-T-3 071 The Red Krayola

Late 1960s Austin psychedelia meets late 1970s London post-punk (call it Experimental, call it Art Rock, just don't call it Progressive) Mayo Thompson of Red Crayola (label mates of perhaps better know Austin psychedelic band The 13th Floor Elevators) moved to England in the 1970s and joined art collective Art & Language. Thompson produced many Rough Trade Records releases between 1979-1981 including pre-pop Scritti Politti, The Raincoats, The Monochrome Set, The Fall, Cabaret Voltaire

This led to the reforming the Red Crayola as The Red Krayola (for legal reasons) with Mayo Thompson leading the band

Black Snakes was The Red Krayola With Art & Language's third studio album. The line-up changed from 1981's Kangaroo?, Epic Soundtracks (A-T-2 182), Lora Logic (ex-X-Ray Specs), and Gina Birch (The Raincoats) had all left. The Black Snakes line-up keeps Ben Annesley (Essential Logic), Pere Ubu's Allen Ravenstine (Mayo Thompson had joined Pere Ubu in 1980 when their new band sign to Rough Trade) the new member is Chris Taylor (of Gong)

Red Krayola put out 1983 Three Songs on a Trip to the United States, it's a short album by Thompson and Ravenstine (both now in Pere Ubu) with the re-addition of Jesse Chamberlain on drums. Chamberlain had played on Art & Language's debut record as well as Red Krayola's return under the leadership of Mayo Thompson Soldier-Talk (most of the live tracks on Three Songs on a Trip to the United States are from the Soldier-Talk era, recorded in Cologne, Germany, 28th August 1983). Chamberlain had been drummer for The Necessaries (A-T-2 238) and backed Elliot Murphy on the albums Murph The Surf and Milwaukee

Lizzie Borden's feminist sci-fi movie Born In Flames is released in 1983. It gets it's name from The Red Crayola's 1980 single (written by Art & Language, performed by the same line-up as Kangaroo?), is also used in the movie
