Ty Segall may have been the busiest man in music this year, releasing three albums under different band alignments while producing and contributing to several more. A great American musical lesson that puts the best of emerging legends alongside the long-forgotten - just as record collectors might dream of.
This is the wonderful calculus of "The Return of the Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of," a two-disc set with great documentation that travels back to the 1920s and unearths some of the earliest recordings of homegrown American music. When it comes to the American songbook, taking rides through the deeper parts of that history can be as thrilling and immediate as seeing a live concert. But every riff, every melody, every harmony has its own rich history. Too often we reflexively think that music simply comes into existence fully formed.
