Abner Jay is an extraordinary one-man-band with one of the deepest emotive voices ever recorded. \u201cMan Walked On The Moon\u201d features Abner material from two different periods. Side A opens with an early deep 1970\u2019s version of his signature song \u201cI\u2019m So Depressed,\u201d which has never before been reissued on LP. The hit is followed by four previously unreleased songs from the same period – \u201cThe Royal Palm\u201d (a classic train song), \u201cOld Black Joe,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m A Hard Working Man,\u201d and his paen to space travel, \u201cMan Walked On The Moon.\u201d All are sung and played by Abner with his standard one man band set up – electric banjo, drums played by his feet, and harmonica.<\/p>\n
Side B of the LP features Abner\u2019s emotionally charged last recordings. These were made two months before Abner passed away, and here we find him pensively playing acoustic guitar and singing. The songs are incredibly emotional and not for the faint of heart. These mournful tracks were previously released on a Mississippi 10\u201d EP back in 2011 (\u201cLast Ole Minstrel Man\u201d) and is long out-of-print. This LP collects some of Abner\u2019s greatest work from across his career, all rare or previously unreleased classics!<\/p>\n
