Last year, Third Man Records reissued Ted Lucas' 1975 cult classic self-titled album. It was the only record the late Detroit musician had put out, but it turns out he'd made another. It was called Impossible Love, and now it's finally being released in a new box set through Jack White's label.
Impossible Love was recorded in 1979 and produced by Don Was. As for the other discs, Strange Mysterious Sounds: Group Recordings (1965-1970) features music he made with his bands the Spike Drivers, the Misty Wizards, and the Horny Toads. Rainy Days (1970-1974), which is out today, has live performances, unreleased studio tracks, and intimate home recordings. Stream it below.
