About this product

The 20-song set includes the legendary Americana band's best-known tracks from their first four albums, alongside deep cuts and two songs originally featured on the soundtrack to director Walter Hill's 1984 cult film, Streets of Fire. From the outset of their career, with such songs as Marie Marie to Border Radio, it was clear Grammy® winner Dave Alvin would be a songwriter to be reckoned with, and brother Phil brings an unparalleled knowledge of American roots music, giving the band a rock-solid musical foundation. Mandatory's track list was chosen with the full cooperation of the band and will be available on CD and digital. Renowned music journalist Chris Morris has contributed new liner notes, calling Mandatory a definitive sampling of The Blasters' recorded work from their 1980-1985 heyday. Album Tracks 1. American Music 2. Real Rock Drive 3. Flat Top Joint 4. Marie Marie 5. No Other Girl 6. I'm Shakin' 7. Border Radio 8. So Long Baby Goodbye 9. Hollwood Bed 10. Blue Shadows 11. One Bad Stud 12.

The Blasters - The Blasters - The Blasters - The Blasters - The Blasters took the group's tough, heartfelt music and put it on plastic for the ages in near flawless form. The Blasters wasn't the only great album this group would make, but it was certainly their best, catching them when they were still fresh but with just enough seasoning to bring out their best performances; it's practically impossible to imagine the roots rock scene of the '80s and onward existing without this album as a roadmap. Album Tracks 1. Marie Marie 2. No Other Girl 3. I'm Shakin' 4. Border Radio 5. American Music 6. So Long Baby Goodbye 7. Hollywood Bed 8. Never No Mo' Blues 9. This Is It 10. Highway 61 11. I Love You So 12. Stop the Clock

OVERDRIVE is not a retro blues album. It's a statement. Eleven tracks moving between earthy blues, modern rock and uncompromising attitude - like an amp pushed right to the edge. Recorded raw, driven by real performance and pressure.From the opener InchHell Yeah (Here I Am)Inch to the closing InchAin't the ManInch, the album follows a clear line no excuses, no masks - movement as an answer, not an escape. InchStreets Are GoldenInch speaks to those who fall and keep going, while InchCash Smash BoogieInch cuts through the myth of money with groove and irony.A key moment is the duet InchYou Can't Beat TimeInch - two voices in tension, no romance. One truth remains time doesn't play. It wins.OVERDRIVE isn't nostalgia. It's the present - built with pressure and grit, shaped in real time on the street of life Album Tracks 1. Hell Yeah 2. Streets Are Golden 3. Crying 4. Fool 5. Dark Knight 6. Rolling and Tumble 7. Shake It 8. Can't Beat Time 9. Dirt House Blues 10. Cash Smash Boogie 11. Well
