Allen Ginsberg & Friends - September On Jessore Road

Review by Rebecca Beasley

September On Jessore Road is an album that showcases the poetic and musical talents of Allen Ginsberg and his friends. The album features a mix of spoken word poetry and experimental music, with Ginsberg's distinctive voice leading the way.

The album's title track is a haunting spoken word piece that reflects on the horrors of war and the plight of refugees, set against a backdrop of eerie electronic music. Other tracks on the album are more upbeat, with lively percussion and catchy melodies.

Throughout the album, Ginsberg's poetry is accompanied by a diverse group of musicians, including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Phil Ochs. The result is a unique and eclectic mix of sounds and styles that perfectly complement Ginsberg's words.
