Book: “NASHVILLE RADIO”

Description

215 paintings by Jon Langford of the Mekons – the punk rock Leonardo’. Included alongside Langford’s images are lyrics and autobiographical writings, plus a free CD of Langford performing 18 of the printed songs. The rocker’s art wrestles with the culture and politics of his adopted US home, invoking musical icons such as Hank Williams and Johnny Cash as well as marginal figures who are jerked around by the forces of success, exploitation, fame and neglect.
