George Gerdes: Obituary

 




Before George Gerdes (1948-2021) became a character actor, whom you may have seen in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Grey's Anatomy, and The X-Files, he had a brief and sweet career as a country/folk recording artist in the Loudon Wainwright III mode (no surprise, as he and Loudon were once in a band together). This is the first of his two albums for United Artists Records, released in 1971. His second—which in the trophy room of great album names I believe deserves a spot above the fireplace—is called Son of Obituary.
