Rodger Wilhoit – the “social world” of Rodger Wilhoit lp

Geweldige reissue op Sweet Mental Revenge Records van een zeer obscure hardcore honky tonk country lp uit 1974.
Wel een prachtig verzorgde reissue met veel informatie en op gekleurd vinyl.
‘Reissue of mega rare 1974 hard core honky tonk country masterpiece. All original songs. Extensive liner notes by Grammy award winner Colin Escott. Rare photos, Gatefold sleeve, Remastered sound. Super deluxe reissue’

‘Country music has chased piety, poetry, and much else, but The Social World is unapologetic hardcore, beer-sodden country music reduced to its core values. No faking. No pretension. Spare, unornamented, and straight from the heart, the songs on the “Social World” of Rodger Wilhoit are all that’s holy and true in beerhall country music. Most copies of Social World and Rodger’s singles were probably sold off the bandstand 40 or 50 years ago. They were among the thousands of records by local artists on local labels sold off local bandstands all across the country. Most ended up in garage sales, thrift shops, or landfill.’
