Album: King of America
Year: 1986
King of America was supposed to be half recorded with The Attractions and half recorded with The Confederates, the crack backing band that T-Bone Burnett rustled up for him early in 1985.
But things weren’t working out with The Attractions, as too many years too close together were finally taking their toll musically and emotionally.
That is, except for “Suit of Lights,” the folk-rock masterpiece that is the one recording with The Attractions that actually made it on King of America.
