Corky's Debt to His Father

Corky's Debt to His Father is the only solo studio album by Mayo Thompson, the leader of the Red Krayola, released in 1970 by Texas Revolution. At the time, the album was recorded at Walt Andrus' studio and set to release on his independent label Texas Revolution. However, due to the executives hating the record, it was given no official release, with only a few hundred copies pressed and sold via mail order.

"Horses" would later be re-recorded by Thompson when he joined Pere Ubu on The Art of Walking (1980). The album would be reissued for the first time in 1985 on the English label Glass Records. It was later reissued again in 1994, on vinyl and CD, through Drag City.

In 2013, Thompson formed the Corky Band and performed the entirety of Corky's Debt to His Father for the first time at the Cropped Out music festival in Louisville, Kentucky, and later at California's Hammer Museum in 2020.
