Somehow out of print for a decade, Soul Jazz Records' mighty Delta Swamp Rock: Sounds from the South finally gets a reissue – albeit as a limited-edition gold double-vinyl version complete with extensive sleeve notes, interviews and exclusive photography spread over a 12-page A4 full-size magazine, and two Soul Jazz house bag inner sleeves: so, y’know, don’t hang around as this one will go FAST.
Featuring The Allman Brothers, Dan Penn, Leon Russell, Tony Joe White, Johnny Cash, Bobbie Gentry, Big Star, Link Wray, Area Code 615, and much more, never has the tagline ‘All Killer, No Filler’ been more apt. An interstate southern road-trip through the USA where country, rock and soul met at the crossroads, Delta Swamp Rock really is the album nonpareil for those who want to seriously explore the musical and cultural links between the cities of Memphis, Muscle Shoals and Nashville in the 1960s and 70s.
