Description of Lost Sounds: Blacks and the Birth of the Recording Industry 1891-1922
If you believe Robert Johnson was the first to play rock 'n' roll, listen up. Records made by African-American artists in the 1890s anticipated by decades the essentials of jazz, rhythm and blues, rock 'n' roll-and yes, even Robert Johnson. Unlike the pioneer blues and jazzmen of the 1920s-whose contributions to American music are duly documented and appreciated today-the achievements of their forgotten predecessors are all but erased from history: the sound too limited, the grooves too noisy, the words too painful. Tim Brooks brought the Lost Sounds of these pioneer black performers to our notice with the publication of his groundbreaking book. Archeophone brings these Lost Sounds to life with the release of this CD. And none too soon, as the precious few sounds that have survived a century of neglect are fading fast. Those experienced with pioneer recordings are in for some surprises, as most are reissued here for the first time. And those who are not . . . you've not heard anything like them before. Many are not easy to listen to. But they are worth the effort, as they let us hear-as close to first hand as possible-the forgotten black artists who contributed so significantly to American music and culture. Your view of history is about to be rocked.General CDs
