'Frisco Mabel Joy is a 1971 studio album by singer-songwriter Mickey Newbury. This was the second of three albums Newbury recorded at Cinderella Sound. The album includes the origi nal version of "An American Trilogy", which Elvis Presley later performed in his Las Vegas shows with much success. "If the stories and arrangements aren't enough to confound and inspire the listener, the melodies, all of which have their roots in country music, are even much more simply deceptive, they turn in on themselves and extend each measure with complex phrasing and mode changes, that they extend far beyond their conventionally notated margins. Frisco Mabel Joy is a masterpiece." - All Music Show more
