(2021) VA – Allen Ginsberg’s The Fall of America: A 50th Anniversary Musical Tribute
Review:
From 1965 to 1971, beloved poet and writer Allen Ginsberg wrote The Fall of America: Poems of These States, a poetry collection detailing his travels across and “discovery” of America. Now, in honor of the 50th anniversary of those writings, a special star-studded tribute album has been announced. Simply titled The Fall of America – A 50th Anniversary Musical Tribute, it sees acts such as Yo La Tengo, Angelique Kidjo, Sonic Youth members Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, Devendra Banhart, and Andrew Bird “re-interpreting” Ginsberg’s original poems. The 20-track project also features contributions from Mickey Hart, Handsome Family, Shintaro Sakamoto, Scanner, Bill Frisell, and Howie B with Gavin Friday. In addition to celebrating Ginsberg the forthcoming album is being dedicated to the late Hal Willner. Prior to his death from COVID-19 last April, Willner had produced multiple Ginsberg releases, as well as served as a longtime producer on Saturday Night Live. The Fall of America tribute is out digitally on February 5th via Allen Ginsberg Recordings, with a physical release set for June 4th. Proceeds will benefit HeadCount.org, which promotes voter registration through music.
