Numero Group return with Motel California, the sequel to their beloved 2016 collection Wayfaring Strangers - Cosmic American Music. Where the first compilation focused on the strange musical wake of country rock hopefuls inadvertently set in motion by Gram Parsons, Motel California sets its sights on the harmony-laden, post-West Coast folk safe sound that took The Eagles to heady heights. The sound of tears in root beers! - Flying Out
A companion to 2016's private country rock overview Cosmic American Music, this second volume goes way past Gram Parsons' “country-rock plastic dry-fuck” and explores the twangy falsettos and commercial curiosity that sent the Eagles soaring. Though rooted in the west coast folk rock of the late-’60s, these new kids in town rendered a safe-for-the-suburbs sound bleached of the hippie era's political strife. 20 tracks, two LPs, and gatefold tip-on sleeve for easy seed and stem separating are included.
