Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This enjoyable and enlightening 14-song compilation sheds much-needed light on alternative country--both the music and term itself--and includes few, if any, weaknesses. As the notes explain, Uprooted highlights alt-country's notable artists and also displays the breadth of the genre, which has come to include any country-flavored music that is not contemporary Nashville swill. You'll find Earlesque roots-rock (Kevin Gordon), straight-up Hank (Wayne Hancock) or Hag (Dale Watson), delicate folk (Tom Russell and Iris DeMent), Texas prairie music (Don Walser), chimey country-pop (Ana Egge), brooding rock (Trish Murphy), contemporary bluegrass (Gwil Owen), outlaw (Libbi Bosworth), and progressive singer-songwriter (R.B. Morris). Paul Burch's superb "Jackson, TN" seems to owe as much to Roy Acuff as anyone else. Kelly Willis, a major-label refugee, enlists the support of acoustic Son Volt; meanwhile, Robbie Fulks, a major-label newcomer in 1998, recalls Nashville's prime with slippery vocal twang and unadorned lyrics. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Refreshingly rootsy and honest
Some of these songs are much better than others, but on the whole this compilation is a great sampling of contemporary roots country, happily devoid of "alternative" cheek and/or Nashville-style fluff. A great starter kit for those just turning on to country music.

Rating:

- Looking For Something Different?
If you are tired of the "country" played on the radio then pick this album up. It includes all the things that make country, country, fiddles, steel guitars, etc. I found it a good introduction to artists I wasn't familiar with and have gone on to buy their albums. Enjoy!

Rating:

- Stiflingly dull!
There's a reason this stuff doesn't sell.
