Release Date: 11/15/2024 The first official reissue -- or in most cases, re-release of any kind -- of these recordings since their initial release as singles. "Discovering the weal th of Cambodian recordings was like falling into a parallel universe, complete with its own Elvises, Patsys and Jimis. Of course, looming over every recording is the tragic end of the musicians themselves under the axe of the Khmer Rouge, a cloak of darkness hovering over some of the most joyous,festive music ever made. But Sinn's music would not go away... it is a testament to the power of his music that it has survived all that has been done to vanquish it." -- Joel Selvin, author/journalist "Sinn Sisamouth's artistic accomplishments are staggeringly vast. As a songwriter, crooner, and later a rock and roller, he always had his finger on the pulse of the latest new grooves from around the world. He'll forever be revered as the untouchable, golden King of Cambodian popular music." -- John Pirozzi, director ofDon't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll Show more
