  • Description

    Titled "American Music", this CD contains the debut album and six unreleased tracks recorded at the same time, from the Blasters. Hailing from California, The Blasters took a variety of American forms of music and attacked these forms with a vigor and heat derived from the punk explosion, that made The Blasters stand apart from the crowd. They would go on to record 3 albums for Slash, none of which displays their sound in all its hard-rocking glory, as heard on American Music.Dave Alvin's originals like "American Music" and "Marie Marie" sound as fresh and lively today as they did on the original release, and even remain in his current live sets. The unreleased tracks include unforgettable staples of the band's early showssuch aas Magic Sam's "21 Days In Jail" and Ray Harris' raving "Lone Wolf".The Blasters led the way for a number of bands, for sheer excitement, The Blasters ruled the roost, and American Music is a superheated document of their joyous first steps. Dig in & dig it.
