| For some reason, Tompkins Square released Luke Schneider's collection of modern pedal steel music on cassette instead of 8-track. |
Here's the scoop...
Curated by in-demand Nashville pedal steel maverick and Third Man recording artist Luke Schneider, the eleventh volume of Tompkins Square’s venerable acoustic guitar series ‘Imaginational Anthem’ features exclusive tracks by legend BJ Cole, as well as leading exponents on the instrument including Susan Alcorn, Luke himself, and British expat /Nashville hotshot Spencer Cullum among others. Somewhat surprisingly, neither Heather Leigh nor Arizona ace Jon Rauhouse made the cut. Nashville native and Merge recording artist William Tyler has written a beautiful detailed history of the pedal steel for the package but unfortunately, it will accompany the CD & LP versions only.
According to Tomkins Square, those who have long since gotten rid of their cassette players will just have to bide their time, writing "We will release on other formats later. This is our first-ever cassette, and this is the only way folks can hear it, for now." Get a copy of Chrome Universal on cassette via Bandcamp right here. Watch a performance by BJ Cole accompanied by his wife Anna on acoustic guitar below.
