Product Details
Dave Alvin spent the 1980s as the guitar engine behind the Blasters, one of the great American roots rock bands, before striking out solo and slowly revealing the full range of what he carried. Blackjack David was the record where he set the electric down and let the songs breathe, drawing on folk, blues, and traditional balladry in ways that showed just how deep his influences ran.
The formative 1998 record from Americana icon, Dave Alvin, is back with two bonus tracks. Previously known for his electric guitar chops, Blackjack David taps into Alvin’s acoustic guitar playing, soaring voice, and emotive songwriting that taps deep into the human experience. This reissue features two bonus tracks and new liner notes by Peter Blackstock. Experience the album No Depression says is “a perfect album…an essential part of American music’s rich history,” like never before. [*=Previously unreleased]
