That is a great compilation, with an even greater backstory. One of the all-time rock gadflys, Earl McGrath. Hagan's book on Jann Wenner is also a worthy read.

Looks good, thanks

Still haven't listened to that whole comp. Mostly focused on David Johansen for whatever reason.

So many great tracks, Blood Brothers Six probably my favorite, but a lot of Detroit stuff that appeals to the ex-pat in me (Shadow with Dave Gilbert on vocals, who later fronted also-rans The Rockets) and a pre-house Norma Jean Bell. And both Terry Allen tracks, too. Really love the sheer range of styles.
