WILD AND WONDEROUS ROOTS OF ROCK 'N' ROLL

Released: October 2004

Albums telling the story of the roots of Rock 'n' Roll have always done so in the same conservative, academic and predictable way.
' Out There', the Viper Label discovered a whole treasure trove of rare and original material by artists known or otherwise which takes you on a musical journey tracing the roots of Rock 'n' Roll from its tribal origins in Africa and North America through to the blues and rap, to its European Folk Traditions through Country, Folk and Hillbilly music. This album is a fascinating, entertaining and unique document showing the origins of one of the great phenomenons of the 20th Century. If you love music, you should own this album.
