"OUT THERE" - Wild & Wondrous Roots Of Rock 'n' Roll, VOL. 1

The influence of the blues and country on rock'n'roll has been well covered but this new release from Viper stands out thanks to the breadth of styles included. The rhythms of rock are illustrated in the North American Indian tribal dance of the Yaqui Tribe's Pascola Dance while Tunde King & his Group's 1936 African blues Oba Oyinbo traces the roots all the way back to Africa. And the 1951 boogie piano of Cecil Gant and Rock Little Baby is the blueprint for every piano player from Jerry Lee to Fats Domino. Fascinating, exciting, educational and thoroughly enjoyable, these are the roots that support every branch of popular music. (Allmusic)
