AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO WITHOUT LEAVING, Volume 1 VARIOUS ARTISTS
(CITY LIMITS)

released 1995 / Compact disc

Besides the two Serene cutshere are many other worthwhile tracks by Mr. Jones and the Previous, Dan Bern, Bill White and Spew to be found here. Decidedly folkier than the morbid "K-Tel" styled cover would have you believe. Of course it was designed by the Morose One himself with his ghost-written liner notes as "Spiritual Advisor Lou". No word on a Volume 2.
