Corky’s Debt To His Father is a solo album by Mayo Thompson, a founder of the Red Krayola. It was recorded and released in 1970 on the independent label Texas Revolution. The record is an experiment in the genre of solo singer-songwriter format and as Thompson says, it “embraces the personal and treats the instrumental power of music for the sake of expression.”

Thompson will perform a single show at New York City’s (Le) Poisson Rouge on December 8th. Other than the 2013 appearance at Cropped Out Fest, this marks the second time in the last half-century that the full album’s been performed live. Tickets will go fast, so do yourself a favor and act quickly.

Mayo Thompson

Mayo Thompson (b. 1944 in Houston, Texas) has been recording and releasing music for nearly sixty years. In addition to his innovative and influential output with the Red Krayola (a group whose history spans the psychedelic, punk, post-punk, and post-rock eras all the way through to the present day), Mayo Thompson is a visual artist and celebrated author, with a forthcoming novel on the way. He has collaborated with a wealth of artists across genres including conceptual art collective Art & Language, Cleveland’s seminal Peru Ubu and played an essential part in creating the “Rough Trade sound” in collaboration wth Geoff Travis, producing records for The Raincoats, The Fall, Cabaret Voltaire, James ‘Blood’ Ulmer, and Stiff Little Fingers, among many others.

His only solo album, Corky’s Debt To His Father, is considered a landmark release of the 1970s.
