Mountain Goats – Jenny From Thebes LP (Yellow & Black Vinyl) Sale

Jenny from Thebes began it s life as many albums by The Mountain Goats do, with John Darnielle playing the piano until a lyric emerged. That lyric, Jenny was a warrior Jenny was a thief Jenny hit the corner clinic begging for relief, became Jenny III, a song which laid down a challenge he d never taken up before: writing a sequel to one of his most beloved albums: All Hail West Texas. Recorded at Tulsa, Oklahoma s legendary The Church Studio with Grammy-winning producer engineer Trina Shoemaker, Jenny from Thebes is a lush collection of showtunes, pushing Darnielle as a vocalist and The Mountain Goats as a band, broadening their sonic palette once again by leaning into influences like Godspell, Jim Steinman, and The Cars.
