Richard, Cam & Bert
Somewhere In The Stars
Richard Tucker, Campbell Bruce, and Bert Lee coalesced as a trio in the spring of 1968, and by the end of that year had become regular performers at fabled Greenwich Village nightspots. But mostly they were street singers, busking regularly in Central Park. Their only LP, 'Limited Edition', was released in 1970, and sold mainly at gigs and on the street. 'Somewhere In The Stars' compiles earlier, previously unreleased recordings, as the band began using their studio to make demos and experiment musically. Recorded by house engineer Charlie Mack, the demos capture a back room casualness and rustic, homespun quality. Some of the songs were re-recorded the following year for 'Limited Edition', but many appear here for the first time. Among them is the original demo for Richard Tucker's song 'Are You Leaving For The Country', which Karen Dalton covered on her seminal 1971 release 'In My Own Time'. Delmore is excited to present this unearthed treasure, which was fifteen years in the making. Comes on transparent cherry red coloured vinyl and includes download code.
