The Legendary Marvin Pontiac: Greatest Hits

A brilliant, elaborate conceptual hoax orchestrated entirely by experimental musician John Lurie, who presented this album as a compilation from a fictional, insane bluesman named Marvin Pontiac. The record is a surreal, highly rhythmic fusion of avant-garde jazz, raw African-inspired blues, and eccentric, often hilarious lyrical storytelling.
