The History of Modern Music begins here.
The Roots: Volume I explores the birthplace of modern popular music through original compositions inspired by the musical language of the 1930s Mississippi Delta. Built around resonator guitar, front-porch performances, work songs, and deeply human storytelling, these recordings honor the traditions that helped shape blues, rock & roll, country, soul, R&B, gospel, funk, hip-hop, and countless genres that followed.
Every track is an original work created with period-authentic instrumentation, production techniques, and lyrical themes while presenting new stories and characters. This is Chapter One of an ongoing musical journey through the evolution of modern music.
