Among this week's new album releases, cool people are especially anxious to hear the Kill Bill 2 soundtrack, particularly a rendition from somewhere of Johnny Cash singing "A Satisfied Mind." Sweet.
The two "roots of rock and roll" sets from Hip-O look pretty interesting, pushing the erudition even of scholars of groovy music such as myself. Put differently, looking at the song titles and artists seemed like I should know more of these than I do.
There are also several classic rock releases of key original albums (not just hits packages) by Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly and (big fave) Chuck Berry's 1964 From St Louis to Liverpool.
