Description
This compilation is to celebrate the launch of the brand - new book 'To Ease My Troubled Mind: The Authorised Unauthorised History of Billy Childish' written by Ted Kessler. When the book idea came up, Billy crafted this double - album compilation to sum up his 47 - year music - making journey. Billy, known by various aliases, is a painter, poet, and novelist. His music, along with his other works, has never chased trends, which is his charm. From defying punk's shift to new romanticism and diving into early rock 'n' roll and the blues, to releasing four LPs in a single day despite warnings, Billy's path is unique. He loves pop for its sound and color, not the stars. His work is close to the ground, valuing homemade music, art, and cooking. Over the years, music has been a fulfilling hobby, bringing him good friends and saving him from the allure of fame.
