You can't throw a beer bottle anymore without hitting some alt-country wannabee. The Wacos are far and away the best of the lot, and this is far and away their best disc. Langford has the fire-in-the-belly of Billy Jo Shaver (without the gut.) This is loud, rude, and fo-real. This is the best of rock and country, without becoming (pause to spit) country rock.

I first heard the title track on the 'Local Anesthetic' show on WXRT radio in Chicago a couple of years ago. The song stuck with me, so I decided to get the CD. Years later, I still listen to that song over and over, again, without getting sick of it. Needless to say, that's never happened before! I have to agree with the other reviewer who said that the title track is strong enough to justify buying the album.

A great collection of punch-drunk honky tonk punk. Just the opening track alone is worth the price of admission.

This is a great disc for three spectacular songs: "Arizona Rose", "Napa Valley", and "South Bend." The rest of the songs are damned fine also. Highly recommended.

If you like your punk with a twang, than pick this up

This isn't country and it's not punk; it's what critics call meat and potatoes rock n' roll, and what I refer to as a boring slog. The vocals are mediocre, the riffs are recycled, and the lyrics are, at best, moderately clever. Even the enthusiasm seems second-hand -- I felt like they were constantly nudging me to tell me what a good time they were having. Their proletarian posturing isn't quite as good as Bruce Springsteen's, but if you like John Mellencamp, there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy this.
