{"product_id":"makoto-kubota-the-sunset-gang-dixie-fever","title":"Makoto Kubota \u0026 The Sunset Gang - Dixie Fever (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecorded in Hawaii in 1976 and co-produced by legendary Japanese musician Haruomi Hosono, \u003cem\u003eDixie Fever\u003c\/em\u003e is a genre-defying gem from Makoto Kubota \u0026amp; The Sunset Gang. The album sits at a fascinating crossroads of American roots music and Japanese sensibility, weaving together blues, swamp funk, reggae, and island sounds into something wholly unique. It stands as a key entry in Kubota's celebrated catalog alongside companion albums \u003cem\u003eSunset Gang\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHawaii Champroo\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cem\u003eDixie Fever\u003c\/em\u003e so captivating is how effortlessly it filters American and island musical traditions through a distinctly Japanese lens, with Kubota and his band bringing warmth, playfulness, and genuine craft to every track. The album blends original compositions with inspired covers — including a funked-up take on Ralph McTell's \"When I Was a Cowboy\" and a rendition of The Lovin' Spoonful's \"Wild About My Lovin'\" — demonstrating the band's versatility and deep love of the music they're reimagining. It's a transportive listen that feels both timeless and adventurous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(209, 72, 65);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling Time Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e ** Please allow an additional 4-5 business days for this item's shipment. **\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Solid Records (6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock, Reggae, Soul \u0026amp; Funk, Folk, World, \u0026amp; Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: 08\/28\/2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1. ディキシー　フィーバー\u003cbr\u003eA2. ワイルド　アバウト　マイ　ラヴィン\u003cbr\u003eA3. らくだ　ブルース\u003cbr\u003eA4. ハートのメロディ\u003cbr\u003eA5. 星くず\u003cbr\u003eB1. チャイナタウン　ブルース\u003cbr\u003eB2. キャプテン　バナナ\u003cbr\u003eB3. カウボーイだった頃\u003cbr\u003eB4. 一つだけ光るもの\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MAKOTO KUBOTA \u0026 THE SUNSET GANG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48315666727130,"sku":"J32W8P-3T9D-4V","price":32.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3284\/4187\/files\/makoto-kubota-the-sunset-gang-dixie-fever_RF5Be.jpg?v=1786219084","url":"https:\/\/jocorecords.com\/products\/makoto-kubota-the-sunset-gang-dixie-fever","provider":"Joco Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
