about

Here is the expansive compilation, 'Damn Straight We've Got the Blues.' This set represents over three months of work in compiling, and I believe it to be not only comprehensive, but damn good to listen to as well. It captures a lot about our catalog that the 20th Anniversary Box Set was not intended to represent.

There is a healthy mix of New West Records, Live From Austin, TX, and Antones Records songs throughout, spanning our entire history as a label.

There are some stretches here, but as far as I am concerned, there is an element of the blues captured in every genre of music, whether it be folk, country, soul, or rock. I end it with The Drams' "Wonderous Life." If someone can't hear the blues in this song of down and out debauchery, then they don't know the blues.

I have sunk a lot of time and thought into this baby, and I hope you enjoy it. Get in your car and take a long drive. I promise you will be head bobbing and beboppin' down the highway.

~ George Fontaine, Sr., owner of New West Records
