Delta Swamp Rock: Sounds from the South: At the Crossroads of Rock, Country and Soul

by Soul Jazz Records Presents

Overview

This double-CD pack, complete with a 68-page booklet, surveys the breadth of the Southern hybrid of country, blues, soul, pop, gospel, and rock that falls loosely under the umbrella term "Southern rock." At 25 tracks, it's hardly an exhaustive study, and cuts by the Allman Brothers ("Ain't Wastin' Time No More") and Lynyrd Skynyrd ("The Seasons") are here, of course, but so are such varied and interesting sides as Joe South's "Hush," Tony Joe White's "Polk Salad Annie," Big Star's "Thirteen," and Johnny Cash's "If I Were a Carpenter," among others, that show how the musical circles in Memphis, Nashville, and Muscle Shoals all worked with and off of each other to create the Southern rock genre between 1969 and 1975. ~ Steve Leggett
