Mickey Newbury quotIn 59quot

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJYdPv03y9U

The song, In '59 , is the lengthy opening track from the brilliant Mickey Newbury album, A Long Road Home . The spoken word introduction I've edited in before the song is Kris Kristofferson speaking of the influence Mickey Newbury had on his own life and work. This excerpt comes from a compelling two-disc aural biography of Newbury by the late San Francisco radio legend, Ron Lyons, called Mickey Newbury: An American Treasure . Well worth looking for. As for A Long Road Home, it is, considering Mickey's failing health at the time of its making (he was on oxygen), not only a masterful album of autobiographical depth and breadth, but a triumph for being made at all. • • Mickey's website is http://www.mickeynewbury.com • • Note: If anyone objects to this video presentation due to copyright infringement, please make contact and it will be removed.
