Gary Higgins, “Demons” MP3 & Q+A
- story Matthew Schnipper
In 1973, before he got arrested for marijuana and spent two years in prison, Gary Higgins released Red Hash, an album of easy, gruff and stoned folk songs. The time away, unfortunately, for the most part curtailed the forward momentum on Higgins’ musical career and he remained largely unknown and lost. That is until Drag City Records tracked him down and reissued the album in 2005. Spurred by that rerelease, Higgins asked Drag City to put out some of his current tunes and later this month, they’ll release Higgins’ newest album, Seconds, where the growly burner “Demons” is from. Higgins was gracious enough to speak with Gracie Remington about his career, his family and what it’s simultaneously like to look forward and back. Their conversation is after the jump.
