Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a fierce revival of fundamental American roots music, 'American Music' introduces The Blasters' high-octane blend of rockabilly, rhythm and blues, and early rock & roll. Phil Alvin's commanding vocals and Dave Alvin's blistering guitar work drive the record's raw, unpretentious energy. The album was pivotal in sparking the 1980s roots rock revival in Los Angeles.
