A celebration of the freewheeling radio culture that took shape in the '30s. Guests featured on this live recording are Rodney Crowell, Freddy Fender, Joe Ely, and John Hiatt.
Los Super 7, the rootsy Tex-Mex collective that emerged in the late '90s, make merry the edgy, no-holds-barred broadcast phenomenon in this debut Telarc release, 'Heard it on the X'.
Recorded in Austin, Texas, the album is a celebration of the freewheeling radio culture that took shape in the '30s, when AM powerhouses like XERF, XEG, XERB and other American outlaw broadcasters along the Mexican side of the Rio Grande blasted a rich and mesmerizing mix of music, quack medicine, Bible-thumping, political stumping and other huckstering to all points north. Powered by as many as a million watts in some cases, X radio signals reached into nearly every corner of the U.S, and even as far away as Europe and Japan, well into the '60s.
Anyway, 'Heard it on the X' makes no guarantees about medical or spiritual healing, supernatural insight, political enlightenment, or that extra burst of sexual energy that so many of us are looking for. But if you find the frequency, you're in for an ear-popping slice of radio from the edge.
