The four-disc box set <em>Roadkill Rising <\/em>finds Pop himself culling performances from some of the best\u2014and best-sounding\u2014bootlegs on the market, in the process constructing a shadow history of his artistic evolution from crazed Stooge to wily modernist and back again. Pop has never stopped being one of rock\u2019s most authentically unpredictable and even dangerous concert acts, and both his under-acknowledged artistry and knack for anarchy are in full flower throughout the proceedings here.<\/p>\n<p>The set organizes songs from many locations and sources neatly by decade: Pop is an unchained rocker on the \u201970s disc, flirts with pop conventions on the \u201980s disc, assumes his mantle as alt-rock godfather in the \u201990s and rediscovers his roots on the concluding \u201900s CD. In addition to selections from his own catalog\u2014with and without his erstwhile band, the Stooges\u2014<em>Roadkill Rising<\/em> finds Pop exercising his penchant for gonzo cover versions of everything from \u201cOne for My Baby (And One More for the Road)\u201d to \u201cWillow Weep for Me\u201d; most enjoyable is a riff-happy rendition of \u201cLouie Louie\u201d with a gleefully profane lyric rewrite. While the sound quality isn\u2019t always ideal, Pop diehards can rest easy knowing that <em>Roadkill Rising<\/em> ably gathers the cream of a notoriously inconsistent bootleg crop. \u2013Chris Neal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IGGY POP Roadkill Rising \u2026 The Bootleg Collection 1977-2009 [Shout!
