The Blasters - Rare Blasts: Studio Outtakes And Movie Music 1979-1985 [CD]
Compilation of fourteen rare outtakes and movie music tracks from the roots-rock Americana band's 1980s studio albums. RARE BLASTS offers a deeper look into that formative period, showcasing alternate takes, lesser-known songs, and soundtrack material that expand the narrative of the band's studio output. The collection highlights the breadth of their influences and the consistency of their songwriting, even in material that remained outside their primary album releases. Packaged with liner notes by Chris Morris and rare archival imagery, the album serves as both a companion piece for longtime fans and a valuable entry point into the extended world of The Blasters' early catalog.
RARE BLASTS: STUDIO OUTTAKES AND MOVIE MUSIC 1979-1985 is a curated archival collection from The Blasters, assembling fourteen rare tracks drawn from outtakes and film soundtrack recordings spanning the band's most vital early years. Originally issued as part of the sold-out 5LP box set An American Music Story, this standalone release brings together hard-to-find material from the sessions surrounding their classic albums, alongside key contributions to film soundtracks. Highlights include "One Bad Stud" and "Blue Shadows," featured in Walter Hill's cult rock 'n' roll fable STREETS OF FIRE, as well as "Kathleen," a track songwriter Dave Alvin has cited as one of the finest the band ever recorded.
