Since his unique sound was first captured on tape in 1968, The Legendary Stardust Cowboy has whooped, riffed and hollered his way through a career spanning six decades on the outer limits of stardom. Regularly lauded, and even covered, by David Bowie, and a cult hero amongst those in the know since the late sixties, The Ledge has recorded and released a series of amazing albums and singles, laying the foundations for Psychobilly and making numerous interstellar proclamations in the process. This two disc anthology gathers together the high points and key tracks from The Ledge’s career, as selected by the artist himself and his current, long established crop of supporting musicians. The Ledge’s ‘freewheelin’ approach to music often belies his true talent, an unrecognised genius and a self belief which is impossible not to fall in love with, all of which this anthology look to explore. Both Sarah Ferguson and Raquel Welch have expressed their admiration for his work, and he remains and active live performer, his band currently boasting Klaus Flouride (Dead Kennedys) on bass.
