Soul Jazz Records’ new ‘Delta Swamp Rock’ is a definitive guide to the music of the southern states of USA created between 1968-1975, where country, rock and soul met.

Accompanying the deluxe double CD is a weighty 52 page book with many exclusive sleeve notes, photographs and biographies.

At the heart of this story lies the small town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama (population around 10,000), central to the production of Southern soul music produced in the United States in the second half of the 1960s.

At the start of the 1970s Southern rock, a mixing of rock, country and blues, emerged out of the Southern states of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida; the creation of blue-collar white Americans with a newly discovered pride in southern values, its way of life and their local surroundings.

‘Delta Swamp Rock’ explores these musical and cultural links between the towns and cities of Memphis, Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Macon in Georgia and Daytona Beach and Jacksonville in Florida, an interstate southern road trip where country, rock and soul met at the crossroads.
