Although it's difficult for those who weren't there to believe, for a short time during late 1965 and early 1966 the popularity of this singing quartet from Australia was sufficient to rival the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The Seekers were at the head of the British Invasion's acoustic folk-rock division, right there with Peter & Gordon and Chad & Jeremy but without the personal Beatles connection of the former, and more successful than either they scored a string of number one hits in England and Top Ten successes in the U.S. that lasted into 1967, two years later than most of the rest of the British exports to America.

R.L. Burnside is one of the greatest blues artists of our time. R.L. has been performing since the 1950s, although he didn't garner much recognition until recording for Fat Possum Records in the 1990's. Along with his label mate Junior Kimbrough, R.L. has produced some of the most unique and passionate blues out there.
9/2/2005: I'm very sad to report the news that R.L. Burnside has died at the age of 78. He will be greatly missed.

The team behind last year's excellent The Glory Days Of Aussie Pub Rock compilation return with another four-CD instalment paying testament to the halcyon days of our nation's live music scene, and fortunately they have a deep well from which to draw tunes and inspiration.
