Darge and Cut Chemist present
Title - Lost and
Found: Rockabilly and Jump Blues
Label - (BBE)

Posted 20.08.07
Everybody's favourite crate
diggers return with a compilation that will have you swinging from the rafters
if the excellent teaser
'I Got a Secret (I
ain't gonna keep)' by Buddy Griffin and his Orchestra from 1957
is anything to go by.
Fantastic, an instant dancefloor sweater!
BBE presents the first installment in the ‘Lost and Found’ series hosted by
Keb Darge, the ultimate purveyor of funk, and his friends (he is already working
on a forthcoming episode with a certain Paul Weller, so watch this space!).
Here, he teams up with the man that is Cut Chemist to present to you a
high-octane selection of old and new rockabilly gems.
Keb Darge and Cut Chemist (DJ Shadow’s partner in crime and the man behind the
übercool hip-hop outfits Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli) come together to celebrate
and show off their slabs of rockabilly gold with what is promised to be a
selection of rare, and obscure, yet totally accessible hillbilly naughtiness,
unearthed for our aural pleasure by two masters of their craft.
Rockabilly earned its place in the history books as the first form of modern
popular music, and both the playful hip-hop breaks and filthy funk selections
these two vinyl dons have gotten us used to owe plenty to the driving,
unpretentious sounds of the Deep South.
