Cougar, Johnny - American Dream (The Mainman Recordings 1976-1977)

Including songs originally recorded by Bowie, Roy Orbison, Ray Charles, Elvis and The Doors, alongside fantastic original compositions, and featuring previously unreleased material long thought lost, ‘American Dream’ pulls together both albums recorded during the period alongside the non-album ‘US Male’ EP and ten previously unheard demos, early mixes, alternate versions and the near-mythical electro funk of ‘I Just Wanna Be Black’.

Complete with insightful new sleevenotes and previously unseen imagery from the MainMan archive, ‘American Dream’ is a must for the Cougar’s established fanbase, and a long-overdue insight into the beginnings of a career which continues to endure
