CARL SIMMONS Honeysuckle Tendrals (Sacred Bones)

 

Honeysuckle Tendrals is a lost recording of Carl Simmons (Providence, Rhode Island). It resides within a canon of musical output by a singer/songwriter no one has heard of, from a place that the world has almost entirely written off.

Recorded in 1999 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Honeysuckle Tendrals was Carl Simmons’ 2nd effort at a full length recording. He released it into the world in a miniscule edition of cassette tapes on his own Unconscious Piano Productions imprint. To say it was poorly distributed is an understatement. It was handed out to friends, and perhaps sold at various open mic nights, where he would sometimes pass off his own songs as Bob Dylan tunes to an unsuspecting audience.
