•Σ• Underground legend Tuli Kupferberg (1923~2010) was always the oldest man in rock and roll, co~founding the Fugs in the winter of 1964~1965 when he was already in his early 40s. Being twice the age of Dylan, Reed, Jagger, et. al, never stopped Tuli from consistently being more outrageous. Latter~day bohemian torch~bearer Jeffrey Lewis befriended Tuli in the early 2000s, and has personally organized “Tuli~day” memorial tribute concerts every year since Tuli’s passing. This album documents some of the finer fruits of Jeffrey’s tribute arrangements, drawing from a four~decade range of Tuli’s various creative voices, from poignant 60s classics (“Morning Morning”) to never~recorded lyrics (“Listen to the Mockingbird”), poems set to music (“The And Song”), works that Tuli called parasongs (“I Wanna Hold Your Foot”) and later~period Fugs gems (“Try to Be Joyful”). Across the board Jeffrey Lewis directs a co~ed band of wild and wooly cohorts, including original Fugs member Peter Stampfel, to bring the same surprising interpretive life to these covers as he brought to his critically~acclaimed 12 Crass Songs album. Whether or not you’re a Fugs fan or a Jeffrey Lewis fan, Works by Tuli Kupferberg is a rollicking, laughing, tear~jerking, psychedelic ride through a hidden history of New York City folk~punk sub~genius. Recorded in the free~wheeling spirit of the original 1965 Fugs recordings, this is an album fifty years in the making.
