John David Bartlett - Falling Through The Universe

Available on CD for the first time, this long-overdue retrospective features 20 previously unreleased tracks from the legendary lost voice of the Houston mid-60s' underground scene. From a tender age, Bartlett's talent was encouraged by Janis Joplin, nurtured by the infamous Red Krayola, informed by the notorious 13th Floor Elevators and most incredibly taught by the master himself � Lightnin' Hopkins. Bartlett was signed to the notorious International Artists label aged seventeen and though his IA tracks are now deemed lost forever this is a compilation of the earliest surviving recordings of the songs he performed from the mid sixties to the early seventies. A unique psychedelic troubadour finally celebrated in a luxury rigid digibook with a booklet written by Texas music expert Paul Drummond.
