DAVE ALVIN & PHIL ALVIN Common Ground (2015 US limited edition 12-track 180gram Heavyweight Vinyl LP - “We argue sometimes, but we never argue about Big Bill Broonzy,” says Dave Alvin when explaining why he and brother Phil, whohaven’t made an album together in almost 30 years, were inspired to record Common Ground. The two Brothers, who founded seminal early LA punk roots band The Blasters, have shared a fascination with Broonzy since childhood. Common Ground features 12 songs that capture a 30-year cross section of Broonzy’s canon, performed by the Alvins' in their signature style of rollicking roots and stomping country blues. Complete with a Bonus CD [containing the entire album] and download code voucher, the vinyl comes issued in the gatefold picture sleeve which also retains its hype-stickered outer resealable bag!)
