It was an earlier time,1988, and Gabe, who�d already released several albumson his 109 Records (109 St. Markswas the address of his store),quickly assented. Don Fury pro-duced the mostly minimalist tracksfrom 14 artists almost twenty yearsago. �We made the record that wouldbecome the document of theAntiFolk scene,� Gabe asserts,�Mainly due to the Village Voice de-voting a lead music article to review-ing the record.� Power of the press�Lots of the acts are folk you�ve neverheard of. Mark Zero starts things offwith his �White Trash,� which risks falling into clich� (butmaybe didn�t at the time), and ends it with Resibaum�ssneering, incredible �Blood on the Pavement�, featuringGabe�s accompaniment on bass. In between, Tom Clarkdoes his folkabilly �Trouble at Home,� Joe Hurley (ofRogue�s March) presents a rambling, fascinating musi-cal travelogue, �All Quiet on the Western Front.� There�ssome guy called Lach, doing a notably nasal �Poor Town�I wonder if he still knows the song. Despite the rapid clipof the recording, some people present some pretty over-blown affairs: Lauren Stauber sings over a keyboard-gen-erated beat on the epic �Prisonville Blues,� �We�d begetting high, day and night, wondering why there wasnothing to do.� Billy Syndrome rocks insanely out with�Have You Seen the Cows.� It�s a track that�s clearly proud of being loud. White Trash, Volume 1 made a fair amount of noise at the time - Urban Folk No. 9 This exquisite piece of retro music history is a vinyl sound recording (not a CD).
