Wayfaring Strangers | Red & Blue Vinyl

Twang reigned, the shitkickers kicked shit, and the vaguely western-sounding guitar records piled up. Country-rock became 'the dominant American rock style of the 1970s,' as Peter Doggett's comprehensive Are You Ready for the Country put it much later. Wayfaring Strangers: Cosmic American Music picks up and dusts off golden ingots from the dollar-bin detritus of that domination, to reconstruct events as seen from the genre's real Wild West - America's one-off private press label substructure.
