Tweddle, Charlie

***CHARLIE TWEDDLE, aka THE MIDNITE PLOWBOY, is an internationally known visual and performing artist currently living in Santa Cruz, CA. Born in Pickneyville, Kentucky, Tweddle sang as he plowed the fields. “I smelled the soil and watched the worms crawl as the earth and the grass came forth. When I sang, I smelled the ground beneath my feet and the sweat from the horses as they pulled the plow. I've changed some. I've got silver in my hair, gold in my teeth and lead in my pants, but I'm not getting old. I've only just reached the metallic age, and now when I sing; I sing with the stars over my shoulder." Recorded in 1977 and unreleased until now, these down-home, full-band recordings are the first in a series of Charlie Tweddle LPs to be released by Might Mouth Music. For fans of Utah Phillips, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and great cowboy poets everywhere.
