I've spent the last couple years listening to different varieties of delta blues and blues rock, and after discovering Fat Possum Records, I've really started to like grassroots punk. Where should I look for the good stuff? Particular bands or labels? Any guidance is appreciated! Try these guys-they're from Central CA

I'd also recommend a rockabilly collection called Rockin' Bones, a four disc collection of early rockabilly. It really makes the connection between the lesser rockabilly artists and early punk like the Ramones.
grassroots punk, is that what they call Rock these days? |
