Liner notes

"I can close my eyes and there I am ... We ate spicy chicken and didn't rehearse ... We recorded the drums, percussion and guitar live ... The amp was recorded in an unused freight elevator shaft ... It fell ... It rained ... Me & Tom saw a naked Midwestern speed freak get beaten with a police baton ... I rode the bus ...We played Kiss songs in the hallway ... I dreamt about reggae & uranium ... We worshipped Howlin' Wolf ... Tom's car got stolen ... We rode the bus together. The engineer had a dagger tattooed on his hand."
JW '92

EFA version contains original mixes of "Mary Beth," "The Exchange" and "All The Same," plus a Jim Goodwin remix of "Heavy Hand."

Review

Surely Wack Waterson is not the greatest singer, but once again this record shows that isn't all that counts. All musicians know what they do, the record is alive. It's fun to listen.
