It Doesn't Matter

SPEED RACER, ART HANDLING WRITTEN ON MY BED
WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN ON THEY'RE RED,
THE PILOT HOUSE WATCH OF A DECK BOSS -
JUST SHARPY YOUR NAME ON THE DOT IT LAY.

LUCKY SPEED CHANCER, RACER QUEENS -
LUCKY TO BE
LUCKINESS IF GRATEFULNESS OVER HAPPINESS
LUCKY TO BE (GRATEFUL)
NO LESSER HEADED BEAST OF NOT EVEN
OF FEELIN'S.

SILENCE NORTH OF THE BRIDGE, A SKY WITH PLANE TAKE ME AWAY, PLEASE TAKE ME.
THAT BEER IS GONE I DRANK IT LIKE DARLING THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE

-PAGE SHUFFLE-

DRINKING IS A STAIRCASE TO A SOBER PLATEAU,
GOTTA GET OUT WHILE AHEAD, EXCITED TO HIT THE ROAD N ABANDON THAT HEAVY LOW.

BY THE TIME I CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN 
FEELING LIKE  A WORLD WITH OUT MONEY,
BY THE TIME I FINALLY CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN.

Legendary Texan artist Terry Allen occupies a unique position straddling the frontiers of country music and visual art; he has worked with everyone from Guy Clark to David Byrne to Lucinda Williams, and his artwork resides in museums worldwide. Widely celebrated as a masterpiece—arguably the greatest concept album of all time—his spare, haunting 1975 debut LP Juarez is a violent, fractured tale of the chthonic American Southwest and borderlands. Produced in collaboration with the artist and remastered from the original master tapes, this is the definitive edition: the first reissue on vinyl; the first to feature the original artwork (including accompanying art prints); and the first to contextualize the album within Allen’s 50-year art practice. Deluxe package includes tip-on gatefold jacket, printed inner sleeve, download code, and 24 pp. book with related artwork, lyrics, and essays by Dave Hickey, Dave Alvin, and PoB.

Allen’s songs extract strangeness from the known world & use it as a means of acquiring greater knowledge. – The New Yorker

He’s pretty close to a master lyricist. – The New York Times

A masterpiece, one of the great songwriter records. It stands equal with classics like Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks & Newman’s Good Old Boys. – Dave Alvin

The single greatest concept album of all time. – PopMatters

Grounding high art. It will stay with you like a tattoo. – Richard Buckner

One of the more fascinating country albums of its time, like Willie Nelson’s Red Headed Stranger as reimagined by Tarantino. – AllMusic

Very few concept albums drum up & maintain the sincerity & reverence that Juarez encapsulates. – Aquarium Drunkard

A vortex of sex & violence. – David Byrne

Throw Lynch's violent masterworks Blue Velvet & Wild at Heart in a blender with Burroughs's Naked Lunch & Bowles's The Sheltering Sky, & you're getting warm. – Houston Press

I love Terry. He’s a funny son of a bitch. – Guy Clark

People tell me it’s country music, and I ask, “Which country?” – Terry Allen
