Alex Chilton (December 28, 1950 - March 17, 2010) was an American songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer. He gained popularity as a teen vocalist for the Box Tops in the 1960s. Although his commercial success declined later on, Chilton remained influential in the indie and alternative music scenes.
Chilton's talent shone through his work with bands like the Box Tops and Big Star. His contributions as a songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer left a lasting impact on pop music.
Despite not achieving the same level of commercial success as he did in his early years, Chilton developed a devoted following within the indie and alternative music communities. His unique style and artistic vision continue to inspire musicians today.

Alex Chilton’s Feudalist Tarts (1985) found the Big Star / The Box Tops front man re-making himself as a southern fried hipster offering up original tunes like “Stuff” and sly soulful covers “B-A-B’Y” and“ Thank You John” while adding a horn section to his road tested rhythm section. Side Two features a number of rare Chilton tracks including “Rubber Room” and “Wild Kingdom.” Chilton had hit rock bottom in his home town of Memphis after 15 years of substance abuse and hard partying. He chose New Orleans as the city where he would re-make himself.

One of the benefits was exposure to all the music he would hear down there. He immediately immersed himself in the city’s laid back, stretched out grooves. The covers he chose for this record were songs he heard being played by older musicians around New Orleans.

Expanded version includes a side of rare tracks.

Includes seven original Chilton compositions.
