With an author’s eye for detail and nuance, shadow and light, Ridgway’s song about iconic actor/director Orson Welles, best known for his film masterpiece “Citizen Kane”, explodes in glorious guitars and strings. And is quite like a piece of wide screen cinema in itself. Stan Ridgway’s inimitable baritone recounts the early scandals, rancorous studio battles and fabled Hollywood history of the great artist, genius and iconoclast. New work from the Wall Of Voodoo mastermind. A sincere tribute from one America’s master songwriters and storytellers.
The song is available here for free streaming and also as a purchased downloaded bundled with the new digital album “Music For Film Vol. 1 “ - a collection of original imagined film soundtrack themes written by Ridgway and close collaborator composer / songwriter Pietra Wexstun.
Stan says " This song has been brewing. And for a long time too. After Orson Welles died, there was a memorial at the Director's Guild theater on Sunset Blvd. In Hollywood. It was open to the public and we went. Not knowing what to expect. The song is a tribute to the Artist. And his inspiration to artists everywhere. Long Live Orson Welles."
