LATIN ROCK

VA - Latin Rock CD1 + CD2 + CD3 (A Butterboy Compilation)

Latin rock is the fusion of Rock music, often Psychedelic Rock, with Latin American rhythms, especially Afro-Latin genres. Latin rock puts an emphasis on percussion, making the style quite danceable through psychedelic influences (mainly acid guitars and organ). It was developed during the early 1970s throughout the Americas after Santana exploded into the rock scene. North American Latin rock was mainly played by the Californian Latino community (although New York also had a fair amount of bands) which incorporated some identifiable elements, related specially to Chicano culture. By the second half of the 1970's most bands had disbanded and others moved to more Latin Soul/Latin Funk sounds.  In Latin America the genre was much more sparse (as opposed to the California-concentrated scene in the North), with bands all over the continent.    Latin rock should not be confused with "Rock music from Latin America" or Rock en español. It's also closely related to the Latin alternative scene (which combines Latin elements with alternative rock, pop, electronic music, indie or hip hop among others) a term often used to refer the same phenomenon. (Wikipedia)

The following music contains songs from Hispanic America, U.S, Mexico, Cuba, Peru, Argentina, and Spain artists that became part of Rock & Latin Alternative Culture and which influenced or impacted in Latin rock music.  The way the percussion lives among the organ sounds and the guitars and brass leads are wonderful.  Here are 76 Latin flavored songs to enjoy!

VA - The Rarest Rockabilly Album Ever! Volumes 1 & 2 [2019] (4 x CD's)

RARE ROCKABILLY
Previously posted October 25, 2019

VA - The Rarest Rockabilly Album Ever!  Volumes 1 & 2 [2019] (4 x CD's)

The earliest known form of what has become Rock music, Rockabilly was around as early as 1951, and throughout that decade was a hugely popular genre. The style waned somewhat during the 1960s, but by the late 70s a revival of epic proportions was in evidence. The style has remained enormously influential ever since, and artists as diverse as Stray Cats, The Cramps, Chris Isaak, Reverend Horton Heat and Brian Setzer s Big Band have kept the flag flying commercially for what has become a sub-culture all of its own, with a cult-following equal to those of Punk, Ska and Mod. The ongoing popularity of this enduring style of music has bought with it the customary collector s scene, and although there remains a wealth of obscure 45s from the 1950s just waiting to be discovered by both the aging fan inspired by the form s first wave and the alternative young rocker, the vast majority of these records, largely released on tiny American labels, remain enormously hard to locate and, when discoveries are made, hugely expensive to purchase. This collection brings together fifty such Rockabilly gems, many of which have never before been released on CD. All the tracks are as rare as a nun in a bikini, as sought after as Bin Laden, and will prove a pure delight for every collector in existence. Completed with deluxe packaging and extensive sleevenotes, this set is what every Rockabilly fan has been waiting years to own.

This 2-CD set lives up to it's name, rounding up rockabilly rarities that fetch huge sums on vinyl and, in many cases, have never been on CD. These date from 1956-59: Alley Cat Walter Brown; Solid Rock Jimmie John; So Tired Chavis Brothers; Speed Limit Tommy Lam; Big Door Gene Brown; Hot Rod Baby Rocky Davis; Go Cat Go Bill Flagg; Cool Baby Lee Cole; I Need It Ray McCoy; Big Sandy Bobby Roberts; Annie Mae Bob Dewitt; That Big Old Moon Buddy Burke; Coming Up Mike Wagoner, and more vintage red-hot rockabilly!

Following the success of sister volume 'The Rarest Rockabilly Album Volume 1', comes a second compilation of 50 of the rarest tracks from the genre that is more popular today than it was when the records included here were first released. Indeed, it was this lack of success at the time which today makes the original 45s of the cuts which make up this collection so rare, and in most cases have never before been released on CD. This collection of the obscure serves to introduce the enthusiasts everywhere to a world of previously unheard Rockabilly gems. (Amazon)

VA - American Music - The Hightone Records Story [2006] (4 X CD's)

HIGHTONE RECORDS

VA - American Music - The Hightone Records Story [2006] (4 X CD's)

Hightone has been a force in roots music since '83, and this set celebrates their already-impressive legacy with 79 tracks.  With few exceptions, these are tough times for artists who perform American roots music. It was much the same in the early '80s, when the feisty, Oakland-based Hightone Records coalesced around pals Bruce Bromberg and Larry Sloven. Under their stewardship, Hightone championed blues, country, and folk musicians and singer-songwriters and aided in the birth of the Americana movement--which in turn yielded a radio format and magazines like No Depression. These 79 songs on four CDs and a DVD of music videos are a compendium of Hightone's accomplishments and, in many cases, the footprints of creative giants within those genres. Each disc is defined by style. The blues roster includes Robert Cray's breakthrough hit "Smokin' Gun," which helped launch the genre's '80s revival, as well as performances by Delta heroes Pinetop Perkins and Johnny Shines, Chicago legend Otis Rush, and such potent contemporary players as Kim Wilson, Joe Louis Walker, and R.L. Burnside. The country CD also gets high marks, with underground giants Gary Stewart, Buddy Miller, Big Sandy, and Dale Watson kicking up dust. With Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Tom Russell, Dave Alvin, Chris Smither, and Dylan influence Ramblin' Jack Elliott paired with Tom Waits on the folk/singer-songwriter disc, it also offers plenty of good listening. Hightone's rock history comes up short overall, with fairly pedantic playing and writing from most of its signings. The strongest exceptions are Joe Ely, the Blasters, and former Blasters songwriter-guitarist Alvin, who was Hightone's most diverse and wide-ranging talent before leaving recently for Yep Roc. The disc of videos is a blast. They're either live affairs by the likes of Alvin and Stewart or low-budget studio shoots from the days when the medium was innocent. There's also a lavish, colorful 123-page book featuring a well-written history of the label, a foreword by Alvin, and a story for every song in this often-delightful set. (Amazon)
