Various Wayfaring Strangers - Cosmic American Music (2-LP, colored Vinyl)

(Numero Group) 19 tracks, gatefold cover, colored vinyl in red and blue speckled

Numero Group release as part of their "Wayfaring Strangers" series a compilation dedicated to Cosmic American Music, commonly known as Country Rock. Characterized by non-rock instrumentation such as fiddle, banjo and pedal steel guitar. Country rock became one of the dominant American rock styles of the 1970s.

Country rock became "the dominant American rock style of the 1970s," as Peter Doggett put it in his comprehensive Are You Ready for the Country much later. "Wayfaring Strangers: Cosmic American Music" collects and dusts off golden ingots from the rubble of that dominance to reconstruct events from the perspective of the genre's true Wild West - America's unique private-press label underbelly.
