VA - The Village Out West: The Lost Tapes of Alan Oakes 2CD

„The Village Out West“ honoriert die unterschätzte Folk Revival Bastion, die 1960 in der San Francisco Bay Area entstand. Ein musikalischer Kontrapunkt zur weitaus bekannteren New York City Szene, welche die Einträge in den Geschichtsbüchern dominiert. Der autodidaktische Toningenieur Alan Oakes hat aus einem unerschöpflichen Repertoire an Aufnahmen eine Doppel-CD zusammengestellt. Darauf zu hören sind große Namen wie Hank Bradley, Rev. Gary Davis, Larry Hanks, Mississippi Fred McDowell, New Lost City Ramblers oder Doc Watson genauso wie bislang kaum gehörte Stars der lokalen kalifornischen Musikszene, die ihrer Region den Teppich für die aufstrebende American Music ausgerollt haben. Das Album zeigt die leuchtende Vielfalt einer Musik, die Jahrzehnte prägen sollte und macht dabei die Bedeutung Kaliforniens als Ursprung einer beeindruckenden und vielschichtigen Folk Music des 20. Jahrhunderts deutlich. ringen.
