When Green on Red, the self-titled CD in this two-title reissue, was released in 1982, the originally Arizona-based Green on Red were bracketed with Los Angeles’ Paisley Underground clique, then spearheaded by Dream Syndicate, Rain Parade, and the Bangles. Green on Red were always a little wilder. Though cheaply produced, Green on Red is a singular debut. By the time Gas Food Lodging was recorded, Green on Red had added guitarist Chuck Prophet, whose virtuosity anchored tracks such as "That’s What Dreams Were Made For" and "Hair of the Dog." Sonic and spiritual followers of Neil Young and Creedence Clearwater Revival, Green on Red made music that still sounds remarkably fresh. --Andrew Mueller

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the 80s best!, April 25, 2003

Take the 15 bucks and buy this album. This is where Son Volt, Wilco, Whiskeytown, Old 97s and any other band in this genre got their inspiration.
Gas, Food, Lodging ranks right up there with The Del Fuegos: The Longest Day & Boston, MA, The Meat Puppets: II, REM: Murmur, The Replacements: Let it Be, Guadalcanal Diary: Walking in the Shadow of the Big Man, Husker Du: Flip Your Wig, Zen Arcade & New Day Rising, The Long Ryders: State of Our Union, The Minutemen: Double Nickles on the Dime, The Beat Farmers: Tales from the New West and Camper Van Beethoven: Telephone Free Landslide Victory as some of the greatest albums of the 1980s.
Take advantage of this re-release...for its been a long time coming.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a scam music has become, June 21, 2004

Next to the DeBeers running the Diamond business scam, music has become the greatest scam of all time. Britney Speers goes multiplatinum and yet nobody knows who the hell Green On Red is.

These CDs are extremely good, as good as anything that Neil Young has released.

Of course, nobody will read this review though because nobody has bought a Green On Red CD for about 7 years now.

Green On Red was the one band that had a lot of influence upon my listening with all that was being released during the indie/rail-pop type music. One band that I truly miss and wish I was able to afford all of their CD's, wish now that I never got read of my LPs.
