I don't know why this is, but Benny Green seems to have a different facial look on every release. He looks rather sickly here. Or maybe the photo was taken at 8 a.m. after finishing a gig at 2 a.m.

Yes, very distinctive face. This will give you a chance to study it further and hear the distinctive voice to match. Music worth listening to too!

And how does that stand up now?  I remember the fuss when it came out, it was never really going to live up to it all.

Crosby is such an important figure.

[Rabshakeh]

Surprisingly enjoyable. I like it more than I did then now that the hype is long gone.

Agreed, re Crosby.

Been too long since I listened to some dark starlight shining. Love the sound of that Strat in Jerry's hands in this concert.

Truly great album by a great artist.  I hope she releases something again soon. I miss The Johnsons but Anohni's debut was an interesting development.  One of THE best live experiences ever seeing A&tJs

Can't be. Candy Darling died in 1974. And was an actress anyway.

So, who?

Why ever not? A photo taken of her used later for an album cover. No mystery there, surely

"The cover is a photograph by Peter Hujar of Warhol Superstar Candy Darling on her deathbed (aptly titled "Candy Darling on Her Deathbed").^{[5]"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Bird_Now}

"1974 photo of Andy Warhol superstar Candy Darling on the cover of Antony and the Johnsons' second full length, I Am a Bird Now, is the perfect complement to the ghostly hymnals that flit and sigh behind its black and white shadows. A melancholy but arrestingly beautiful image, it depicts Darling on her deathbed; bright flowers float behind her upturned arm like a cluster of soft, pale moons radiating light onto the bleached sea of sheets in which she's drowning."  https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/467-i-am-a-bird-now/
