Bob Neuwirth is a painter and a musician and is also known as one of Bob Dylan's best friends in the 60's and his tourmanager. His legs can be admired on the cover of Highway 61 Revisited. So if you ever wondered who was wearing those black jeans, here's your answer. Neuwirth made 5 solo albums ranging from pure country-rock to latin influenced songs. His albums are crowded by friends like: Kris Kristofferson, Dusty Springfrield, Don Everly, Rita Coolidge, 'Mama' Cass Elliott, Richie Furay, Chris Hillman, Booker T. Jones, Ian Matthews, Timothy B. Schmidt, Donnie Fritts, T Bone Burnett, Patti Smith, Peter Case, Bernie Leadon, Butch Hancock, Elliott Murphy, Victoria Williams, Steve Young and Katy Moffat.

You might not watch Alfonso Cuarón's deeply personal story inspired by his family's housekeeper in 1970s Mexico City and think of El-P or Billie Eilish. But this genre-hopping compilation is meant to invoke the spirit, if not the letter, of the largely scoreless Oscar-nominated film. Only a handful of the songs are in Spanish or feel like they could have come from the era itself—Jessie Reyez's ballad “Con el Viento” among them—while Ibeyi's “Cleo Who Takes Care of You” is the exception that overtly references the plot.

Enjoy this Compilation with the most successful Classic 21 - 15 Ans singers like The Rolling Stones, Patti Smith, Elton John and many more!

"It was fifteen years ago today…. I wrote a book about a bunch of bands who couldn't play. Subtitled, `A Pre-Punk History for a Post-Punk World', From The Velvets to the Voidoids is now back in print both sides of the pond, and methinks deserving of a companion CD (or two), a noise-some soundtrack from the subterranean silos of Sire'n'such….." - Clinton Heylin, author of From The Velvets to the Voidoids (Penguin, 1993) and Babylon's Burning: From Punk to Grunge (Penguin, 2007).

Review by Timothy Monger
As the '70s came to a close, an emerging crew of female rock artists and bandleaders began to populate the airwaves. From the punk attitude of the Patti Smith Group and Chrissie Hynde's Pretenders to all-female guitar bands like the Go-Go's and the Bangles, these bold artists set out to ensure that women would no longer be marginalized or under-represented in the rock industry. She Rocks: The '80s Wave of Women Rockers collects 15 cuts from some of the '80s most inspiring women. Trailblazing singers with a unique style like Cyndi Lauper and Kirsty MacColl are featured here alongside bands led by strong frontwomen like the B-52s and 'Til Tuesday. These women set the stage for both equality and the high quality of women rockers who would follow their example in the coming decades.
