                Notes

                    This compilation was meant to be a look back at Larry Norman's 1976 examination of American roots music, called "The Red, White And Blues Trilogy," that was never released (I didn't even hear of this title before). Despite this starting point and the album title, there are only a few songs from the 1976 era to be found here.

 

                    The catalog number SRD-901 was also used for Rock, Scissors et Papier.

 

                    Songs marked with an asterisk are supposed to be "newly edited versions." These words are used on Larry Norman's official website. Could it mean that the edits were done recently?

 

                    "Jesus On The Mainline" is a traditional, which was recorded by several artists over the years. Beam also recorded it.

 

                    "Man Of Constant Sorrow" recently got quite some attention through the "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" movie where it was a hit record for the Soggy Bottom Boys. It's a traditional that was first recorded by Emry Arthur in the late 20s. The version in "Oh Brother" was based on the interpretation by the Stanley Brothers (1947). Other cover versions were made by Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and others.
