A Man Called Destruction

1

A Man Called Destruction is a studio album by American pop rock musician Alex Chilton, released in 1995. The album consisted of six songs written by Chilton, and six cover versions including Jan and Dean's "The New Girl in School", which had featured as the B-side to their "Dead Man's Curve" single. "It's Your Funeral" is based on Frédéric Chopin's marche funèbre which became the 3rd movement of his Piano Sonata No. 2.

Title

Blues musician Howlin' Wolf employed a pianist named William "Destruction" Johnson in the late 1940s, and Chilton's title is a reference to him as well as a play on both the title of the Western film A Man Called Horse and the Biff Bang Pow! song "A Girl Called Destruction".
