Review: First released on Soul Jazz in 2011, we now hear a welcome 2023 edition of this curatorial country gem. Delta Swamp Rock compiles and explores the musical and cultural links between the cities of Memphis, Muscle Shoals and Nashville in the 1960s and 70s, where country, rock and soul met at the crossroads in what could only be described as an unholy sonic explosion. Tracks by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe South, Bobbie Gentry, Area Code 615, Duane and Gregg Allman, Cher, Cowboy, The Allman Brothers Band, Link Wray and Boz Scaggs all appear. There's also 8-page booklet with notes, history and information about the South and its music scene.
