Black Phoenix Blues is a remarkable deep dive into the creative world of Rodd Keith, the legendary figure of the song-poem genre. Recorded between 1966 and 1974, this collection reveals Keith's distinct voice and genre-blurring talent, moving deftly from lush pop to experimental storytelling and everything in between.
Featuring sixteen previously unreleased tracks, the album highlights Keith’s unique approach—from the bittersweet “You And I” and the exotic melodies of “I Love Lovely Chinese Gal,” to the raw narrative of “The Explosion Of Holden 22 Mine” and the psychedelic undercurrent of the harrowing title track. These songs offer a rare glimpse into the breadth and eccentricity of a true musical outsider, making Black Phoenix Blues an essential listen for dedicated fans and adventurous music lovers alike.
