the only songwriter covered by the beatles, the stones and bob dylan finally gets his due. "when the beatles and the rolling stones got their first chance to record, one did 'anna' and the other did 'you better move on.' that should tell you enough" - keith richards. fifteen years ago, arthur alexander finally made the album that would give him the acclaim he was denied for decades, in spite of being a crucial influence on the two biggest rock groups of all time. his comeback album, 'lonely just like me', was as warm and wounded as a fresh heartbreak, lovingly produced by ben vaughn and recorded down south with the musicians who backed arthur's hits in the 60's and 70's. upon its release, arthur was shown all the critical love an artist could hope for. but just as every arthur alexander song seemed to end in heartbreak, so did his return to the spotlight. within days of the album's release, arthur passed away. in the wake of his death, this wonderful album faded into little more than a bittersweet memory shared by everyone he touched. now hacktone records will finally give this album the audience it deserves. 'lonely just like me: the final chapter' tells the full story of arthur alexander's triumphant re-emergence. surrounding the original elektra / nonesuch album are never-before-heard demos made in a tiny cleveland hotel room, arthur's entire live session for npr's 'fresh air' and even a song from the 1991 bottom line concert which landed arthur his new record deal. produced with the full participation of everyone involved with the original elektra / nonesuch album, this is a loving tribute to a legend's final triumph. the original, critically-acclaimed album plus an hour of previously unreleased music. special portfolio package includes a new essay from producer ben vaughn, reproductions of original session materials and even a copy of arthur's funeral program. outspoken fans of lonely just like me include paul mccartney, elvis costello and robert plant.
