Search - Various Artists :: Hear Me Howling! Blues, Ballads, & Beyond: The Arhoolie 50th Anniversary Boxset

The 1960s were a tumultuous time in the US, and the San Francisco Bay Area holds a special place in that history. There to capture the music was Chris Strachwitz and his fledgling label Arhoolie Records. But Chris' idea of what was worth documenting is not what normally comes to mind when we think of 60s San Francisco. Chris' passion was and is down home roots music. This collection is the beginning of Chris' plunge into documenting a world, part traditional, part contemporary, that no longer exists but forms the basis for one of the great record labels of American music, Arhoolie Records.

Hear Me Howlin' comes with 4 Compact Discs with 72 tracks of over 4 hours & 40 minutes of music, including 38 previously unissued tracks and some artists who have never before appeared on Arhoolie Records. Also included is a 136 page 8.5"x11" hardcover book, full-color, with over 150 photographs.
