Description
'Hear Me Howling!' is a 136 page hardback book and 4 CDs documenting the music of the 1960s in the San Francisco Bay Area. But it may not be the music you're thinking of. By 1960 the 'folk revival' was beginning to blossom. Clubs and festivals were starting to feature traditional folk artists in addition to interpreters, and Chris Strachwitz with his fledgling label Arhoolie Records, was there to document it.
Or at least the part he liked! his apssion was, and is to this day, down home roots music. Not only did he record it then, but he promoted and presented many roots musicians to the young folk audiences eager to hear the 'real thing'
This collection represents the beginning of Chris's plunge into documenting a world and culture, part traditional, part contemporary that forms the basis of one of the great record labels of American music.
