Synopsis

Album Description

During this time with Elektra (1968-72), Ackles was a critical success but record sales barely pushed him into 'cult figure' status. Over the years, his popularity has grown, even more so after his death in 1999. Ackles dark and somber songwriting has influenced artists like Elvis Costello, Elliott Smith and many others. 40 tracks total. Rhino UK. 2007

"Anybody have any news about this release? It's almost as if it were a ghost--never really saw the light of day. I'd like to get my hands on the unreleased tracks...."
