Rushmore

This is a 2-on-1 CD by Mount Rushmore featuring both of their albums, 1968's High On Mount Rushmore and 1969's '69 (or Mount Rushmore '69). On CD, the '69 album comes first while High On Mount Rushmore follows. This was reissued in 2002 on the Lizard label.

Mount Rushmore is one of America's most iconic landmarks, but there are dark mysteries behind its presidential faces; experts use cutting-edge tech and the latest science to reveal what lies beneath the rock and the secret history of its creation.

High on a granite cliff in South Dakota's Black Hills tower the huge carved faces of four American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Together they constitute the world's largest piece of sculpture. The story of Mount Rushmore's creation is as bizarre and wonderful as the monument itself. It is the tale of a hyperactive, temperamental artist whose talent and determination propelled the project, even as his ego and obsession threatened to tear it apart. It is the story of hucksterism and hyperbole, of a massive public works project in the midst of an economic depression.

Experience the open skies of the Badlands, the rolling prairies of the West, and one of America's most famous monuments with Moon Mount Rushmore & The Black Hills.
