Jack Kerouac : Reads On the Road

 

Genre: Spoken Word

Dates: Late 1950's

The title's deceptive. Jack actually reads from On the Road for about 30 minutes, delivers two long poems (with new music composed by David Amram), and sings (yes, sings) five standards. Still, it's very much worth your time, especially if you're a Beat nut. Add-on: Tom Waits and Primus's four-minute On the Road interp.
