For the September album of the month, Green Monkey Records are diving deep into the Green Monkey vaults to present JEFF KELLY's "Ash Wednesday Rain" from 1995.
To make it even more beautiful, they're also gonna do something they never do – have a sale! All month visitors can buy "Ash Wednesday Rain" from GMR for a mere 8 bucks (folks can still buy it from CDBaby for $13 or $19 from Amazon if they prefer to pay more – crazy, eh?).
"Ash Wednesday Rain" was head-Green Pajama JEFF KELLY's fourth solo release on Green Monkey and his first CD release. Jeff's prior solo releases were small cassette-only releases, although "Coffee in Nepal" was re-released on vinyl in Greece.
"Ash Wednesday Rain" came at a period of relative lull. Kelly and GMR Prez Tom Dyer had amicably split following the release of Kelly's "Private Electrical Storm" in 1992 (later released on the 4-CD box set "Melancholy Sun"). A long-time GREEN PAJAMAS fan contacted them with the idea of capitalizing a new release and "Ash Wednesday Rain" was born. The album, recorded solo by Jeff on his home 8-track (and maybe some 4-track), is a low key, thoughtful meditation on the state of the Kelly brain in 1995.
