Zusammenfassung:	"Terry Allen’s landmark concept album, released on vinyl in 1975, was a multimedia production that combined an epic Western narrative with finely detailed, fantastical lithographs to create a "better thing" that still remains fresh 47 years later. The Juarez lyrics, published here for the first time in narrative form, are paired with a series of new etchings by the artist created specifically for this project. The etchings reflect Allen’s intensely creative imagination and are a superb counterpoint to the strange and compelling storyline of his Juarez song cycle. In a 2019 interview with the LA Louver Gallery, Allen recalls asking himself, "How can I put music and drawing together? How can I make it be one thing?" This longing to combine art forms into "one thing" has informed a body of work that includes 13 albums of original songs, radio and theatrical performances, painting, sculpture, and art installations. The Juarez storyline is a tangle of longing, loneliness, violence, and the endless, competing human desires to leave, to stay, to escape, to turn back. Two couples – Jabo and Chic, Sailor and Alice – are young, impetuous, and imperiled by their rash, even criminal, actions, and yet their story remains as forceful and vigorous as it did when he first wrote it. "Juarez is an ongoing project that began in the late sixties, runs to the present, and I have no doubt is still lurking in some form or another in the future. It has probably instigated and/or informed everything I’ve ever made," said Allen." -- Publisher's website
