R.A.M

[Machine Translation] KOZZY IWAKAWA ( THE MACKSHOW / THE COLTS ), a rock and roll seeker, has been exploring his own musical roots and passing them down through his solo project "ROOTS" series, which he calls a world tour of music. This 2-CD set contains the best of the best cover songs from the past, present, and future, selected from the 6 works of the series, commonly known as "URARAM", which have been enthusiastically supported by only some fans and are not normally distributed. Starting with 50's and 60's Rock'n'Roll, which is now Roxville Studio's specialty, to Rhythm & Blues, Country & Rockabilly, and Ska Reggae, which dates back to prewar days but has been sublimated to the modern age, the album features the best of British and American music that has lived from ancient times to the present and that we want to leave for future generations. KOZZY is a man who freely travels the world of music, transcending borders and time. This is a solo album, which he handled everything from playing all instruments to recording, mixing, and mastering, all by himself. Surrounded by an overflowing love of analog and vintage equipment, he has released many works at his fortress (ROCKSVILLESTUDIO ONE), and over the years, he has tried and experimented to reconstruct a collection of cover songs and lost takes, including many newly recorded tracks. This is the best cover time machine album by KOZZY, the one and only man who is different from the rest!
