Here we have a compilation entitled ‘I Followed My Dreams and My Dreams Said To Crawl” How I Admit I Didn’t Sign Up for Showbiz To Be Cosmically Knee-Capped By A Karmic Teacher Disguised This Time As The Bathetic Career of a Semi Beloved Fringe Balladeer In The Twenty Teens’, which exists now because over the last year or so, thanks to market forces beyond my comprehension, we’ve had an influx of new listeners. The idea was to offer them a piece of vinyl featuring, hopefully, all the songs they like in one place. Thanks for listening.
The double LP package features cover art from Kevin Tong Illustration, liner notes from novelist and screenwriter Bruce Wagner and comes on clear vinyl with green/blue/purple splatter.
“Greatish Hits: I Followed My Dreams and My Dreams Said to Crawl” is the singer-songwriter’s career-spanning collection of songs taken from his five widely acclaimed albums, including Fear Fun (2012), I Love You, Honeybear (2015), the Grammy-nominated Pure Comedy (2017), God’s Favorite Customer (2018), and Chloë and The Next 20th Century (2022).
