about

While it’s not an especially macho howl, “Let the Singer” is a howl nonetheless — baying at the moon by a wolf who wants to join the pack. As angsty young guitar slingers will do, in those days I valorized the live fast–die young lifestyle and its practitioners, like Hank Williams and Gram Parsons, and this song is a result. It all seemed very romantic until so many musicians that I liked died young. Recorded by the Mirrors at Jim's, 1979.
