Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Since their early releases were so disjointedly frazzled that the phrase "better living through chemistry" suddenly sounded like a ruse, it was quite a surprise when Truxsters Jennifer Herrema and Neil Hagerty found their groove on this 1993 release. Yes, it's still shaky and slurred, but with distinct elements of Exile on Main Street-era Stones and unreconstructed biker rock thrown into the mix on tracks like "Skywood Greenback Mantra" and the hazily uplifting "Let's Get Lost." Hagerty's playing--an eye-opening fusion of Neil Young lope and Magic Band-derived jitters--is plenty bracing on its own, but when wedded to Herrema's dissipated, bluesy rasp, the effect is truly galvanizing. Keep on Truxin', indeed. --David Sprague

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the all-time best 90's records, May 16, 2005
It shocks me that this band--and this album in particular--are not more well-known. "Cats and Dogs" is as beautiful, chaotic, and near-perfect from beginning to end as any record by Sonic Youth or Pavement. Yeah, I said it, and it's true too.
