TIM HEIDECKER

Titanic And Other Songs

(Orion Read - OR10) LP $23.00 (Out-of-stock)

After reading that Bob Dylan’s Tempest album includes a fourteen-minute song about the Titanic, comedian Tim Heidecker set out to record an equally epic song about the ship, to “see if I could beat the master to it.” The rhyming ballad begins in 1912 and ends in the present day with James Cameron’s decision to re-release The Titanic (1997) in 3-D. The album also includes a cover of Dylan’s “All the Tired Horses” (1970), along with previously unreleased songs inspired by: the failed sequel to suburban biker movie Wild Hogs (2007); life at home; an assignment from a friend; and fear of death and earthquakes. Edition of 500.
