June Tabor is an acquired taste, I've noticed. For me, the first listen to her way back in the late '70s had me smitten. What still amazes me is that she will not be bound by trends; wasn't then, isn't now. Folk music has enjoyed a revival over the last couple of decades, thanks to great, vintage folk and bluegrass reissue albums in CD format, and people like Tracy Chapman, who showed us in the 90's that a single voice with a guitar can still weave a spell, Bonnie Raitt, who stuck by her passion for the blues, even while she was trying other stuff, and Bob Dylan, who still has the muse in 'im…

"I feel so bad," sings Darius with an air of resigned desperation near the end of the opening cut, "Shades of Blue," before closing the song with a truly memorable larynx-shredding scream. That sets the tone for this weird little mini-gem, a kind of downbeat psychedelic anomaly that nevertheless boasts some nifty melodic hooks and tight, exuberant playing…

Guapo's core lineup on this album is the duo of drummer Dave Smith and bassist/guitarist Matt Thompson, joined on half the tracks by guest musicians on either saxophone (Caroline Kraabel, John Edwards) or miniMoog (Andy Thompson). Despite the limited lineup, this is still a fairly diverse album of loose-limbed, often catchy instrumental prog rock with Eastern European overtones and a few free jazz touches…

The aural equivalent of a nightmarish acid trip and arguably the band's best album (or worst, depending on your point of view), Locust Abortion Technician tops the psychedelic, artsy sonic experimentation of Rembrandt Pussyhorse while keeping one foot planted firmly in the gutter. The record veers from heavy Sabbath sludge (even parodying that band on "Sweat Loaf") to grungy noise rock to progressive guitar and tape effects to almost folky numbers in one big, gloriously schizophrenic mess…

Tierra Gitana - Over the years the Gipsy Kings - who hail from the Gypsy settlements in Arles and Montpelier in the South of France - have included singers and guitarists from the Reyes and Baliardo families. The band's vigorous guitar work and passionate vocals are the trademark of an indigenous musical tradition known as rumba flamenca.
There are no other examples of a non-English speaking band (the group's language is the Gypsy dialect of Gitane) with such a consistent winning streak in the US, where the group is the biggest selling French act ever.

The band can be categorized, politically, as an anti-establishment musical group.

Ska-P have titled their new album “99%” The album will contain fifteen tracks.

Deluxe reissue of rare 1970 psychedelic rock from Peru. That album, "Apocallypsis" was the first psych/hard rock album recorded in Peru; it was released on vinyl in August 1970. The album includes five original songs, plus versions of tracks by Grand Funk, Liquid Smoke, Jimi Hendrix, and Question Mark and the Mysterians. Before the LP came out, as El Virrey released two 45rpm singles that are included on the CD as bonus tracks. This special edition of a South American classic also includes a booklet with some terrific photos and memorabilia + liner notes and lyrics.

Rockabilly's rough image can be traced to both Sam Phillips' lo-fi production ethic at Sun Records and the dangerous look of the many Elvis wannabes on the label's roster; it continued as a symbol of defiance thanks to the nouveau rockabilly look British teddy-boys sported in the '60s (greased hair, rolled-up pant leg) and the makeshift music the reconfigured teddies of punk rock made in the late '70s.
