Really enjoying this, this evening. It's hard to believe that an album this good could have been largely ignored. At the time it was recorded (1986) these guys were the hottest young band in Austin. The band had two future luminaries in the world of Alternative Country (Jon Dee Graham and Alejandro Escovedo) and folded before the second album was released.
A fine collection of poppy, punky country. Similar in feel to Rank & File (whom Escovedo also played for) and Jason and the Scorchers from a few years earlier.

I originally bought the now hard to find Hard Road cd which combined the two albums on one release but was stoked a couple of years ago when I found a vinyl copy in a second hand music shop in Brisbane.
