I had no idea Kerouac sang, and it turns out to be one of the most sadly beautiful things I’ve ever heard. This is from a series of presumed lost tapes now featured on the album “Jack Kerouac reads On the Road”. He does some scatty jazz numbers too, which I am sure are competent and are yet nothing like this. It reminds me a bit of alt.alt.countryists World Standard. This one was just a vocal hometaping but has had organ and guitar parts posthumously and sympathetically added by some jazzers. Also on the album Tom Waites covers the same song, backed by Primus and produced by Jim Sampas and Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth from their 1997 album of Kerouac tracks “Kicks, Joy, Darkness”.
