Today we're happy to showcase two recent albums of poetry and music by A.L. Nielsen: Sometimes I Wonder Can a Cigar Box Hold My Blues (2021) and Spidercone — More Blues, Rage and Hollers (2022). Both albums have been available to purchase through online streaming platforms, but now, thanks to Nielsen, marks the first time they're freely available to the public, and with a handful of bonus tracks to boot.
The two jazz–poetry albums primarily feature music and poetry composed entirely by Nielsen, with the exception of "Self-Organizing Networks," where the music and performance is by Christopher Reiner (and included with permission).
You can find the full tracklisting for both albums at Nielsen's PennSound page.
