REVIEW
“Cheekily titled, this isn’t a collection of hits at all, but a sampler from the Arhoolie label. It’s still brilliant. The Armstrong Twins’ ‘Eight Thirty Blues’ has bravura picking that plays more games with tempo than bop allows, let alone rock. As a Maddox brother exclaims during a guitar break: ‘I can’t stand it, it’s driving me sane!’ If the roots of rock are this fantastic, how come the flowers in the shops are looking so sad?”
