ARTHUR ALEXANDER.

Everything Alexander The Great recorded is available on CD reissue. The best compilation is the one from Ace Records (UK), it's marginally better than the Razor & Tie issue. His very last CD, "Lonely Just Like Me" (Elektra) may now be deleted, but crops up on eBay. He cut this as his "rediscovery" record, great songs, good production that brought his beautiful, soulful voice out. It looked as though this one would break him through after years of poverty....and then the poor man died suddenly. He's the only singer whose songs have been covered by The Beatles, Stones, Bob Dylan, Elvis P, Elvis C, Nick Lowe, John Prine, Robert Plant, Roger McGuinn, etc.....and he's now laying in a grave without a headstone.
