Our Take

Various Artists' New Fables of the American South 1968-1973 is a whimsical time capsule of the lo-fi, folk-rock scene that dominated the music landscape during this era. Filled with twangy guitars, soulful harmonicas, and nostalgic lyrics about whiskey-soaked nights and broken hearts, this compilation album transports listeners to a simpler time when bell-bottoms and fringe jackets reigned supreme. Each track on this album tells a unique story of life in the American South, from the rollicking tales of love and loss to the haunting ballads of struggle and redemption. Artists like The Swamp Lilies and The Delta Drifters bring a touch of authenticity to their songs, capturing the raw emotion and unfiltered grit of the Southern experience. While some may dismiss this album as a mere nostalgia trip, it's hard to deny the timeless appeal of these classic tracks. The infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. In a world where mainstream music is dominated by flashy production and auto-tuned vocals, New Fables of the American South 1968-1973 is a breath of fresh air. So pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, kick back on the front porch, and let the music take you on a journey through the backroads of the Deep South. You won't be disappointed.
