Roots LP (Color) fg_Catalog Number_DOC192LP-C1 Patterson Hood and his mates

Patterson Hood and his mates take another rewarding left turn

featuring a theme played on 12 string and steel guitars

essentially a hot dog roasted over a flame and stuck between two pieces of bread

is a soundtrack to tragedy and triumph alike

featuring songs such as “Your Favorite Thing” that endure as mainstays of Mould’s solo performances to this day

Roots LP (Color) fg_Catalog Number_DOC192LP-C1 Patterson Hood and his matesRoots is Curtis Mayfield's visionary album, a landmark creation every bit as compelling and far reaching in its musical and extra musical goals as Marvin Gaye's contemporary What's Goin' On. Opening on the hit "Get Down," the album soars on some of the sweetest and most eloquent yet driving soul sounds heard up to that time.
