Mickey Newbury "In '59"

The song, "In '59", is the lengthy opening track from the brilliant Mickey Newbury album, "A Long Road Home". The spoken word introduction I've edited in before the song is Kris Kristofferson speaking of the influence Mickey Newbury had on his own life and work. This excerpt comes from a compelling two-disc aural biography of Newbury by the late San Francisco radio legend, Ron Lyons, called "Mickey Newbury: An American Treasure". Well worth looking for. As for "A Long Road Home," it is, considering Mickey's failing health at the time of its making (he was on oxygen), not only a masterful album of autobiographical depth and breadth, but a triumph for being made at all.
