yeah, may need to get some more of the set than that best of I have. Can see that crossroads thing with a number of things. Was thinking about the ethnic folky roots of r'n'r earlier thsi week. Like picking up the Proper Farewell To Ireland set in the early 00ies and hearing echoes of that Irish stuff and subsequently thinking they weren't the only ethnicity to feed into the sound.
That and the Hillbilly Boogie set I also got from Proper and thinking it sounds majorly like r'n'r without the amplification and does directly tie in with jazz roots as does Bill Monroe I think.
I have a Proper Bob Wills too and one on Milton Brown seem to be doing that reissuing things coming out of copyright in a decent way. Not sure who else does as well I think if i have anything on JSP it's the Rembetika set Do They Have Hashish in Hell.
But yeah seems like Wills was pretty dashed fine archetypal an dfun things like that
