Peter Fonda(ピーター・フォンダ)監督・主演のアメリカン・ニューシネマ名作「The Hired Hands」。ギタリスト/作曲家Bruce Langhorne(ブルース・ラングホーン)によるオリジナル・サウンドトラックを、現行エクスペリメンタル〜ポストフォーク派の錚々たるアーティストが、原曲からイマジネーションを広げ、自由に解釈したトリビュート作品。コンパイラーはDylan Golden Aycock(ディラン・ゴールデン・エイコック)、Loren Connors(ローレン・コナーズ)、Suzanne Langille(スザンヌ・ランギル)。


We would like to pay homage to one of the greatest and most infamous guitarists alive, Bruce Langhorne. His music has influenced and touched a lot of lives over the years, either through his soundtrack work with Peter Fonda or his studio work in the 1960’s as the go to hired hand for musicians such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Richie Havens, Odetta... and many others. If his name is new to you I suggest browsing his wikipedia page to acquaint yourself with the volume of work he accomplished throughout the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Scissor Tail Editions was lucky enough to release Bruce’s score to Peter Fonda’s 1971 anti-western “The Hired Hand”on vinyl in 2012. The goal here was to ask artists to cover or reinterpret a song of their choice from the soundtrack. No rules on whether the music should be derivative of a certain song, if the soundtrack inspires a mood, then the artists use their intuition. Bruce has come on hard times in recent years, having suffered a stroke that prevents him from playing the guitar. He’s currently in hospice care awaiting his final curtain call. A large percentage of profit go to Bruce and his family.
