Memphis Soul

Horn stabs, dragging backbeat, one take: the sound of a house band cutting hits in a converted cinema.

Detroit Proto-Punk

Pull this thread and you get Michigan guitar noise from 1969 ballrooms to 1999 basements, unbroken.

San Francisco Psychedelia

Ballroom bands who stretched blues and folk into twenty-minute jams, pressed before anyone edited them down.
