36 tracks spanning 40 years of groundbreaking and provocative music, released through NYC’s legendary Knitting Factory Records.

The first CD is devoted to songs recorded with Lucas' psychedelic jazz-rock band Gods and Monsters, and the second CD is devoted to solo works, rarities and collaborations.

Drawing on a wealth of material including rare and never-before released tracks, the double album offers ample evidence of Gary’s trailblazing and unique career, going back to his earliest appearances on record and stage with Captain Beefheart (Don Van Vliet) in the early 80’s, to his groundbreaking work with the amazing Jeff Buckley (Gary co-wrote and played on Jeff’s anthems “Grace” and “Mojo Pin”), through his extensive cross-genre legacy of 30-plus albums.

Special guests include Jeff Buckley, Alan Vega (Suicide), David Johansen (NY Dolls), Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers), Billy Ficca (Television), Nona Hendryx (Labelle), Chinese star Feifei Yang, French diva Elli Medeiros, avant-legend Mary Margaret O’Hara, Cuba’s #1 dance band Los Van Van, UK dub-master Adrian Sherwood, singer Rolo McGinty (The Woodentops) and others.
