Artistic Vice CD

Re-mastered CD re-released in August, 2008 on Daniel's own label Eternal Yip Eye Music (EYE-115). ARTISTIC VICE was the first album on which Daniel Johnston fronted a band. This CD is a testament to Johnston's own innate musicality that the songs lend themselves so perfectly to the casual accompaniment heard here. They can shift easily from quiet country balladry to punkish rave ups. As always, his songs are direct, honest, hook-laden, and imminently coverable. One listen to "Tell Me Now" will yield the names of 10 artists who should record it. Liner notes by the original producer, KRAMER.
