For memory 1

Light In The Attic (LITA) is a US company founded in Seattle in 2001, and has found its niche in the new edition (or publication) of old and rare recordings. They have given the "resurrection" of Rodriguez, but his catalog is extensive. Each publication is very carefully prepared plans of sound, the booklet and packaging. Each publication is at least interesting.
This album is like a small 120-page book with two CDs lasting an average of 55 each. ' These present a number of artists, songwriters under their name or group (s), resulting mainly from the indigenous people of Canada and even more specifically, often in Quebec.
Born in the 1940s or 1950s, still with us for most of them, these artists - all males! - Embarked on a musical career mainly within their community or to an audience from the Indian nations but, inspired by Hank Williams, Johnny Cash or rock bands of the 1960s This is mostly Artists "unknown to the battalion" but whose libretto traces the career with the information collected specifically for this album, through interviews conducted by teléphone with stakeholders.
Records compiled by LITA mainly from recordings for Canadian radio, some vinyl records that were provided for the sale have not received a real commercial distribution.
Without exception, these recordings were made in a single take without overdubs and with the means of a rudimentary studio. If the remastering brings a certain sound quality, retain some beaches still keep the brand character of this original precariousness. In some cases, add an interpretation a little "limited" as the battery for the 3rd CD1 beach or the more or less false vocals here and there ...
As for texts, songs inspirations are not routinely "political", there even has love songs, but all cater to the Indian community with an intention to (re) mobilization against fundamentals of their culture and their environment. In terms of music, inspirations are folk, country, folk, country-rock, rock (with guitar solos) or pop-rock, only a few beaches tempting fusion Indian tradition / Anglo-Saxon music (see especially the beautiful success of "Montagnais Folk Group"). Little or no "psychedelia" contrary to the lettering of the cover could leave now. We unfortunately do not find in these two song CD truly "scotchante" and nothing that we proposed offers universal transcendence of the best songs, although there is something here to do a very good LP about 40 minutes with the best songs.
Beyond the "politically correct", it is a welcome addition to the global club, supported by a copy booklet (with lyrics of all the songs, photographs of artists, as well as covers and labels disks) and outstanding design although it is difficult to read the song titles on the cover of 4th.
