About this album

The Blasters is a fierce debut that helped define the 1980s roots-rock revival. Released in 1981, the album blends rockabilly, rhythm and blues and hard-driving rock & roll with a streetwise urgency that gave the band a distinctive place in the Los Angeles scene. Anchored by brothers Phil and Dave Alvin, the record turns songs like Marie Marie, Border Radio and American Music into a lean celebration of American vernacular music. Its mix of rough-edged performance, classic influences and contemporary punch made The Blasters one of the most respected cult bands of the era.
