As a high school student in Des Moines, Iowa during the early 90s - TopicsExpress



          

As a high school student in Des Moines, Iowa during the early 90s it was difficult to hear about new or good music. The internet as we know it today did not exist yet and therefore the only way to learn about such things was via print, commercial radio, or word of mouth; most all of which only focused on popular or classic music. You can only turn on the radio so many times and hear the same crap before you get jaded. Around my sophomore year a friend obtained a copy and played for me an album by this roots-rock-reggae act from Colorado called The Samples. I was instantly thrilled to hear something that sounded so fresh. This was a band that had picked up on the Grateful Dead vibe and infused it with music akin to the Police, Bob Marley, and Neil Young and put an entirely modern spin on it.
