Nothing comes out of nowhere, and although rock & roll seems to literally burst from the ground full of rattling, rolling, and roaring in the late '50s, it was a blender of blues, hillbilly country, jazz solos, string band reels on steroids, jump blues, and anything else that seemed to fit and generate some power and steam. It was a music made for car radios when car radios hit the market, and in love with power, sound, and motion, rock & roll motored on over the hill, flashing sparks and trails that are still driving much of the pop music of the first decade of the 21st century. How do you bottle those roots? It's close to impossible, really, but this four-disc, 100-track Proper Records box set attempts to do just that, and by choosing songs from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s that fed rock & roll's thematic side, songs of rambling, gambling, and motion, this set actually does catch the attitude of rock & roll well before the genre ever burst on the scene. One can listen to it that way, as a wonderful jukebox placed at the wellsprings of rock & roll, but with classic tracks from Charlie Poole, Peg Leg Howell, Muddy Waters, Blind Lemon Jefferson, the Stanley Brothers, Hank Williams, Blind Willie McTell, Bessie Smith, and dozens of others, one can just as easily listen to it as an expansive playlist of early American roots music, and not spend much time worrying about where it all led to. There's really nothing new under the sun. People still ramble, gamble, and either seek or hope for redemption (or both), and they still sing about it, rap about it, and listen to it in their cars motoring over the hills. Maybe it started here. It doesn't really matter. This is a great playlist wherever things ended up going.(Steve Leggett, Allmusic)

Como Now; The Voices of Panola County, MS (2006 Recording, 2008 Daptone Records)
This collection of a cappella gospel performances was recorded on a single afternoon at the Mt. Mariah Church in tiny rural Como, Panola County, in northwestern Mississippi. Notwithstanding the impeccably pristine quality of the recordings, one gets the feeling that it could have been any given afternoon in at least the last hundred years or so -- indeed, folklorist Alan Lomax made copious recordings in this area back in the 1940s and '50s -- but it just so happens to have been July 22, 2006, when many of the county's best singers gathered in response to a newspaper ad placed by producer Michael Reilly with the backing of Daptone Records. Hence the second word in this compilation's title, and the emphasis of label head Gabriel Roth that this is a contemporary recording of contemporary people, and intended for contemporary listeners. It is, in a sense, a field recording, but that hardly makes it a dusty, academic affair, and it shouldn't belie the fact that these are consummate, seasoned performers, folks who've spent their lives steeped in a vibrant musical and spiritual tradition, and for whom singing and religion are intrinsic and inseparable. The singers, who perform as soloists and in duos and small groups of family members, range in age from the 81-year-old Brother Raymond Walker (who sings with Sister Joella, his wife of 50-plus years) to the five twentysomething Jones Sisters. The songs -- some original, many of them traditional gospel numbers -- are presented simply and unadorned, aside from some cases featuring truly soul-stirring familial harmonies, but they are unspeakably rich in emotional intensity, raw conviction, and unadulterated musicality. Daptone is responsible for some of the finest soul recordings of the new millennium, but never before have they offered anything as simply staggering and passionately, profoundly eloquent. (Allmusic)

Alejandro Escovedo - Bourbonitis Blues (1999)
Bourbonitis Blues was recorded straight up, no chaser, (in Chicago, Austin, and Chapel Hill) in down home style -- this is Alejandro and his "classical glam" Orchestra at their finest: off the cuff, loose and tight, and reflective of their incredible live shows. The covers range from the achingly languid "Pale Blue Eyes", featuring Kelly Hogan (ex-Jody Grind, ex-Rock*A*Teens) on vocals, to the chugging cover of Jimmie Rodgers' "California Blues", with Jon Langford (Mekons, Waco Brothers, Pine Valley Cosmonauts) guesting on guitar and vocals, to the spooked up version of the Gun Club's "Sex Beat" (featuring Trailer Bride's Melissa Swingle) (Record Runner)
When No Depression magazine declared Alejandro Escovedo "The Artist of the Decade," the decision must have baffled everyone except the handful of people who had actually listened to his records. On his three studio albums and 1998's triumphant live album, he blended violin, cello, and buzz-saw guitar to fashion an utterly distinctive chamber-punk sound. He needed such a sound to accommodate songs about the stillness and terror of those early morning hours when you can't hide from the "what's it all for?" questions. Bourbonitis Blues isn't as epochal as its predecessors because it has been cobbled together from three different sessions and offers only three new originals. But Escovedo's one-of-a-kind arrangements are as haunting as ever; his remakes of songs by Lou Reed, John Cale, Gun Club, Jimmie Rodgers, and Ian Hunter are revealing, and the three new numbers are very good indeed. Contributions are made by past and current members of the Mekons, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Jody Grind, and dB's. --Geoffrey Himes

Rank And File - The Slash Years 82-84 (2003 Remaster)
Years before the alt-country scene exploded with the release of Uncle Tupelo's first album, Rank and File were a band of punk rock veterans who embraced the sound and feel of classic country music, but with a stripped-down sound and a lyrical stance that embraced leftist politics and a jaundiced eye toward the hipster music scene. Led by Chip and Tony Kinman of the fabled L.A. punk band the Dils and featuring Alejandro Escovedo before he founded the roots rock band the True Believers and went on to a celebrated solo career, Rank and File recorded two fine albums for the celebrated Los Angeles indie label Slash Records, and The Slash Years includes both of them in their entirety: 1982's lean and two-stepping debut Sundown and 1984's more polished and atmospheric Long Gone Dead -- in addition, the set features four rare non-LP tracks as a bonus. While this features nothing from the band's self-titled 1987 swan song for Rhino Records, it's a thorough collection of the group's best and most celebrated work, and three decades later this music is still smart, high-spirited, and thoroughly engaging; fans of classic country or roots rock will eat this up.

The Loons - Inside Out Your Mind (2015)
Psychedelic garage roots rock ‘n’ roll.
It has been five years since The Loons released their third album 'Red Dissolving Rays Of Light' in 2010 on Greg Shaw's Bomp Records. The band's newest LP and CD 'Inside Out Your Mind' is likewise on the Bomp label and is their best album to date.
4th album from San Diego, California band that includes Mike Stax, longtime editor of the psychedelic magazine “Ugly Things”. The Loons play psychedelic garage roots-rock with blistering raw-spark tremolo guitar riffs, hum-a-long pop hooks, and sweet vocal harmonies—all wrapped up in a solid sandwich of retro-licious rock ‘n’ roll. Recalls bands like White Fences, Ty Segall, Muck and the Mires, Love, Thee Urges, The Music Machine.

This looks fantastic, thanks so much!
I read the subtitle of one of the offerings above as "The Voices of PARANOIA County."
Sadly appropriate today.
@ Gummo I thought this was the #1 music blog out there as in "about great music", but I interpret that as being the people in the minority of voters are feeling a bit paranoid today? They'll get over it.
i saved the lives of 12 links this morning!
thanks for the soul club compilation, gyro
@Mike Britcom: Surely you know better than that.
What happened was each of the 50 states and Washington D.C. held elections to specifically selected representatives called "electors" based on congressional representation who convene and cast the votes according to the majority wishes of the individual state (or, even congressional districts + 2 votes, as in the case of Maine and Nebraska.)
There is not really an election by the country as a whole, and the voters are not voting for the President. And so, the candidate with the majority of votes (at least as of this writing) overall did not win the election, due to an insufficent number of individual state electors selected to vote for the candidate.
Or, in the words of the Simon and Garfunkel song:
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.
@ Gyro
Thanks for all your shares of today.
Living in California, the presidential election is over before our votes are ever tallied so you're just throwing it away. Much better the dim bulb states get more pull, for someone I am sure.
