David Carradine - Grasshopper (1975)

It was sad to hear of the death of David Carradine recently. Back in 1975, he had great success with the Kung Fu TV series and released this album of self-composed songs. At the time, to promote the album, he appeared on the UK chat show Russell Harty. After insisting that he and Harty should sit on the floor, he spent several minutes of the 'interview' tuning his guitar to the bemusement of his host. Eventually, he played the first track from this album.

This is from my own vinyl copy and comes to you with its original pops and crackles (though not many)

    I didn't know that David Carradine was a musician. I guess there's a lot that we didn't know about him. I guess that's why I should read the new book "David Carradine: The Eye of My Tornado".

      Wowwwwww!!!!!!!!!!Thank you so much much much much, great friend!! I have some songs from that album in my mind since 1975 ('You And Me', for example, song title from the movie 'You And Me')! It's the album I most looked in my life; what a wonderful and precious gift for Christmas! Thank you once again for being so kind! Much peace & health to you and your family in 2013, my friend!
