Previously unissued live 1992 set from the Memphis power-pop legend.
From his early days playing with Big Stars Chris Bell and Jody Stephens, his discovery by Andrew Loog Oldham (The Rolling Stones), to a storied solo careerwhich inspired the acclaimed documentary Waiting: The Van Duren StoryVan Duren has earned his spot as a Memphis music legend.
Van also fronted Good Question, a band whose only release in 1986 was only marred by the classic problem of falling through the cracks. In 1991, the band began work on a follow-up, and invited a group of Memphis friends to a performance to showcase the new album material. The set simultaneously acted as a retrospective of Vans career as a solo act, featuring material from his albums Are You Serious? and Idiot Optimism, plus a last-minute addition of a Beatles cover, worked up during rehearsals. The second album never materialized, and this performance has sat patiently in the vaultswaiting to be heard.
Cartwheeling: Live In Memphis is that show, presenting that 1992 set from Van, James Lott, Ray Sanders, Joel Williams, with special guest Rick Steff (Lucero). Newly restored and mastered by Grammy® winner Michael Graves, Van contributes new liners outlining the show and its significance.
