Music for William Eggleston’s ‘Stranded in Canton’ | J Spaceman & John Coxon

Description

Cover Notes: ‘Stranded in Canton’ is a black-and-white film portrait of Memphis in 1974, shot in bars and on street corners, showing Eggleston’s friends carousing, playing music and firing pistols into the night sky. It is raw, greasy, Quaalude-y and hot. Jagged and intimate, the film is a handheld window into a different world; ‘Hogarth on Beale Street’ as writer Richard Williams describes it in the album’s liner notes.
