Hilly Kristal dreamed of running a country and blues bar in the Bowery. Instead, the club he opened, CBGB (Country, Bluegrass, Blues) became the birthplace of punk and underground music. CBGB was the modern-day salon for the disenfranchised youth of New York City and Kristal offered these young local bands a stage.
The album contains a performance by Kristal (“Birds and the Bees”) and a new version of “Sunday Girl” by Blondie.

You probably know most of these tracks, but some are a little bit "deeper" in the canon than others, which is cool. And it will be nice to have a lot of this stuff together. Here's a live performance of "Careful" by Television:
Look for more news, perhaps a track or two, and for now you can pre-order at the Omnivore Recordings website.
