专辑简介
BE FREE! THE FUGS FINAL CD (PART 2), available February 23, 2010, is truly the final album of THE FUGS. Several years in the making, it is a rich and rewarding album that is destined to be considered one of their best. From the opening psych-rocker "Be Free" (written in the studio by the group -- it `passes the baton' with its mantra "we are all Fugs now"), to Tuli Kupferberg's transcendent, chill-inducing closer "Greenwich Village of My Dreams" - THE FUGS deliver 14 tracks of pure sonic joy, brilliant new songs with impeccable performances and production. Featuring the band's 25-year-strong lineup of Steve Taylor (former musical collaborator with Allen Ginsberg) on guitar and vocals, Coby Batty on drums and vocals, and co-producer Scott Petito on bass and keyboards - this is a monumental recording of two great American poets and songwriters: Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg. Tuli's condition prevented him from joining the band in the studio, his vocals were recorded with remote equipment from his Manhattan home. The album will be released by Fugs Records, through the Kindred Rhythm Music Group.
Producer Hal Willner organized an All-Star tribute concert to benefit Tuli Kupferberg, who founded THE FUGS with fellow poet Ed Sanders in 1964. Tuli, now 86, has suffered several strokes and has lost his vision, and has enormous monthly medical costs. The sold-out concert, which featured rousing renditions of Fugs classics by Dan Zanes, Jeffrey Lewis, and The Fugs themselves, along with guest appearances by Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Sonic Youth, John Zorn, Gary Lucas and others, took place on January 22, 2010 at St. Anne's Warehouse in Dumbo (Brooklyn, NY).
