David Ackles-American Gothic (1972)
Posted in Singer/ Songwriter on Oct 6th, 2009 No Comments »
Along with Randy Newman, Van Dyke Parks, Harry Nilsson, and some others, David Ackles helped widen the definition of contemporary singer-songwriters in the late 1960s. This was a group of performers open to incorporation of many non-rock pop and theatrical influences into their work, and not based in folk-rock, like so many of the other early singer-songwriters were. His quartet of albums won him a cult audience that included Elton John and Elvis Costello.
