Rewind to 1982.
Word spreads in the musical underground.
The Violent Femmes take him out on the road. Shall Be Released Carmaig's 1987 debut album, jointly released by Good Foot and New Rose Records. Mr. Chilton's arrangements soon meld with punk and other underground rock sounds that have long been an inspiration and new songs arise. With Mr. Wiseman providing a different sort of strange and intimate aural landscape for Carmaig's tales, the fruit of the sessions is El Camino Real. Carmaig currently lives in San Francisco.
