We get the story behind an obscure but deserving folk album from the label’s reissues producer, Patrick McCarthy.

The boutique record label Light in the Attic specializes in reviving old, obscure albums that are worthy of a second life.

One of its recent releases features a couple of L.A. folk singers who struggled to attract the attention of major labels in the early 1980s.

After toiling in the coffee house circuit for a couple of years, David Kauffman and Eric Caboor released an album called “Songs from Suicide Bridge.” On the album’s cover, the duo can see seen posing on Pasadena’s famous Colorado Street Bridge.
