David Ackles "American Gothic" (1972)
Wow!
...To elaborate, this is like the meeting place of Frank Sinatra, Scott
Walker, Tom Waits and maybe a little Elton John (Ackles collaborates
with Bernie Taupin throughout). Highly melodic, lushly orchestrated,
daringly eclectic, shamelessly theatrical with interesting lyrics.
The 1001 albums book described this as largely unrecognised and - sample size of one - I certainly wasn't familiar with it.
