Released in 1967 with personnel including Lonnie Liston Smith (piano), Ronnie Boykins (bass), and Grady Tate (drums), 'Now Please Don't You Cry' marked the beginning of Roland Kirk's groovier explorations that would eventually lead him to record 'Blacknuss' (1971). It's vintage Kirk in a pared-down setting and is considered an essential Kirk album. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
