Bushman is one of the most impressive voices in modern roots reggae; sometimes just a bit too overproduced, but otherwise very powerful. |

Before there was Pere Ubu, before there were the Dead Boys, there was Rocket from the Tombs, and now (thirty years later) they're back -- doing the same songs they did before. Yes, it's a guilty pleasure. You got a problem with that? |

Zillatron is, of course, the funk god Bootsy Collins, here united with his Olympian colleagues Bernie Worrell, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Umar Bin Hussan, Buckethead and Bill Laswell for some of the weirdest avant-funk ever committed to tape. (Originally issued on Rykodisc in 1994.) |

She records for a New Orleans jazz label, but this is straight-up rock'n'roll -- of a sort of rootsy-techno, neo-retro bent. I know, that doesn't make any sense. But just recommend this fine album to a patron or two, and then watch the word of mouth spread. |

America's finest rockabilly and western swing ensemble is back with another brilliant collection of twangy, rocking, swinging original songs. These guys are living proof that originality is way overrated in pop music. What matters is groove, and no one grooves harder than Big Sandy. |

Randall Bramblett is a singer-songwriter in the gruff, rootsy mode -- you know: grungy guitars, Hammond organ, plainspoken vocals with great melodies and regretful lyrics. Imagine a tougher Freedy Johnston, or a softer Billy Joe Shaver. Very nice. |

Ever heard a kora played through a distortion box before? This Guinean quartet (by way of Marseilles) combines griot tradition with modern urban grooves, and may change the way you think about both sounds. |

Although this acoustic supergroup includes members from Holland, Hungary and the U.S., the strong musical personalities of Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny ensure that most tracks have something of an Irish flavor to them. Still, this album offers an unusually rich mixture of Celtic, European and American traditions. |

No one has done as much to bring the sound of steel drums to the general public as Andy Narell. This album consists of seven jazzy, Caribbean-inflected compositions written for his large-scale ensemble and performed with both energy and subtlety. |
