Stop the Clock (1:53) About the Album: The 1981 self-titled major debut by Downey, California's The Blasters is widely regarded as an essential cornerstone of 1980s American roots rock, rockabilly, and the L.A. punk/roots revival scene. Driven by the songwriting and blistering guitar riffs of Dave Alvin, the booming vocals of Phil Alvin, and guest saxophone legends Lee Allen and Steve Berlin, this album delivered seminal classics including "Marie Marie," "American Music," "Border Radio," and their famous cover of "I'm Shakin'."
