– Abner Jay

Stunning one-man band tunes from one of the United States great unsung artists. Rare and previously unreleased tracks from Abners vast catalog of home recordings, showcasing some of his most haunting and powerful vocal performances on revelatory new renditions of classics like Im So Depressed and Ol Man River.

A truly independent artist who performed at swap meets and fairs out of his custom converted trailer, Abner Jay traveled the United States from the 1930s until his passing in 1993. Told with his characteristic blend of humor and pathos, I Dont Have Time To Lie To You is an unsparing take on the country Abner knew so well, and possibly the best full album of his music to date.
