Roots of Rock N' Roll 1927-1938

This album is for those who want to explore the deep roots of what we now know as rock n' roll or simply rock music. This album is filled with some great tunes from all the various genres which would combine into rock including jazz, soul, swing, country, blues, and honky tonk. Personal favorite of mine is the Tampa Kid recording of "Baby Please Don't Go" this is one of the earliest recordings of this song which would later become a blues and rock staple. If you like American music and I mean real American music not the stuff that is on the radio nowadays then you have to check out this great album.

Chava Flores - Antologia

Chava Flores is arguably one of the best artists to have come out of Mexico. His most famous song "Sabado Distrito Federal" describes the hectic and at times comical routine of people living in Mexico City. I highly recommend this album to anyone with any interest in Mexican or Latin music
