Expanded two CD reissue of the Grammy-winner's third solo release. Prospect Hill: The American Songster Omnibus is a collection containing a three-part journey: the original album; the 2015 Record Store Day nine-track EP What Got Over; and a third section, The Drum Major Instinct, a set of 12 previously unissued instrumental tracks that "presents the vision of the Phoenix rising from the ashes, morphing into a butterfly, and seeing the world with a new set of eyes." With extensive liner notes from Flemons and his wife, Vania Kinard, matched by extraordinary photography from Timothy Duffy (whose works are in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Art, National Museum of African American History and Culture, the New Orleans Museum of Art, among others), this new collection truly showcases Flemons' artistry, talents, and dedication to deserving the moniker The American Songster. So, take the journey, whether it's your first time, or a return trip with new sights and sounds on Prospect Hill: The American Songster Omnibus.
