Persephone = Papersleeve = (CD)
Rare private press druggy psych folk from Minnesota on Orion Records .The album closes with the lengthy title song. The echo-filled production reflects the haunting desolation of the piece. "Please save me from my dream, I'm trying not to scream," sings Billy, and he seems to mean it.
The stark instrumentation, and obscure lyrics of Persephone have earned it a place of honor in post-psychedelic/folk circles. It was originally pressed on a private label called Orion. Persephone features one of the greatest album covers I have ever seen. The incredibly detailed ink drawing is stunning.
