Moondog
On The Streets Of New York
A survey of Moondog's earliest recorded works - many of them unreleased until now - through a collaboration by
Mississippi
Records and Lucia Records. From 1954 - 1962 field recordist Tony Schwartz frequently checked in with Moondog, his
favorite street musician. Tony Schwartz made recordings of Moondog's earliest compositions as they were coming into
focus. Sometimes these recordings were made right on the street as Moondog busked, sometimes they were made in
Schwartz's studio, and sometimes they were made on NYC rooftops. The resulting recordings, many of which had never been
released, were deposited at the Library Of Congress as part of the Tony Schwartz Collection in 2006 when Schwartz passed
away, and this record was culled straight from these original tapes.
