No Depression In Heaven

This is a great compilation. I don't need Bobby Gillespie to tell me how great the Carter Family are (or rather, were), but there are some fantastic records on these two cds - from dodgy homemade punk to sparse trad folk, to NY coffee shop blues, avant garde noise wankery, C86 jangling, and many other sub genres too elitist and high falutin' to go into here. Three tracks in, and the Rezillos 'I Can't Stand My Baby', bumps up to 'Xerox' by Adam and the Ants...when he was cool, before the girls got hold of him...and then one of the tracks that kicked off hip hop.
