The post war rock ‘n’ roll heyday of the 1960s and 1970s remains a constant reference for those who prefer their sound to be more ‘organic’, but one of the more overlooked and undervalued substances that existed within the underground margins at the time was what could be coined as “black rock”.
Despite the popular consensus at the time, there was a growing amount of black musicians that made sonically heavier and more eclectic music than their more celebrated, mainstream peers in the soul and jazz fields, thanks in part to Bo Diddley and Jimi Hendrix. Most of these groups never succeeded commercially and faced prejudice from both sides of the racial divide, but without them, today would be very different.
WINDRUSH ROCKERS is a compelling account of the progressive, Afro, funk, rock and reggae sounds made in Britain between 1967 and 1975. Rubble presents a feast of sweet, funky, progressive noise for the ears with professionally remastered original sound recordings from the vaults. Complemented with a background essay, biographies and archive memorabilia.
