Lost Generation (album)

Lost Generation was the second major label album by singer-songwriter Elliott Murphy produced by Paul A. Rothchild and recorded at Elektra Studio in Los Angeles and was reviewed by Paul Nelson in Rolling Stone.[3] The album featured an all-star band of top session musicians including drummer Jim Gordon and keyboardist Richard Tee. The cover photo of Murphy standing in front of an open parachute was taken by photographer Ed Caraeff. Paul Nelson's Rolling Stone review called the album "brilliant but extraordinarily difficult" and gave Murphy the Hemingwayesque accolade, "When he's on the street, the sun also rises on one of the best."[4]

gollark: I made 5 Macrons this morning and another 3 in the afternoon.

gollark: Yes, they can just arbitrarily bee all things, it's just quite funny in a bad way.
gollark: It's pretty something, given that the terms of service, if I remember right, do ban client modifications, but don't ban alternative clients (only the developer docs do that).
gollark: I see. I suppose if you want that and don't mind having your running processes harvested.
