5.0 out of 5 stars
Cash + Clash = Waco, August 17, 2000
This review is from: To the Last Dead Cowboy (Audio CD)
This is the CD that started it all. "To The Last Dead Cowboy," the Waco Brother's first CD, set a standard that has been hard to match. In fact only "Cowboy In Flames," their third disk, matches this CD's energy and spirit. The Waco's literally marry the country purity of legends like Johnny Cash with the tempo and attitude of bands like The Clash. This marriage of punk and country (an idea first envisioned by the likes of Jason and the Scorchers) as interpreted by lead Waco (and Mekon punker) Jon Langford and his band mates, ultimately produces great rock and roll that transcends musical categorization. This is the album that established the Waco Brothers as the standard bearers of insurgent country and has secured them a place in the hearts of left-wing country punkers everywhere.
