TFIA has been a favorite of mine for several years. This CD is one of my two current favorites (but may change as newer CDs are released). My wife and I love this music, and used to see TFIA more regularly when we lived in Texas. Now that we are in Illinois, we make the trip to see them anytime they are near. As we get ready to have our first child, I cannot wait until the three of us can sing the songs together and all appreciate the music (as you can tell, my wife and I are kids at heart). TFIA is one of the last entertainers that you can appreciate with the entire family.

This one is the album I would choose to introduce adults to Trout. The lullaby version on here (with violins in the background) has me in tears, it is hauntingly beautiful.

There are a lot of just plain fun tracks on here too- Two Brains, Sam's Last Boogie and My Front Door come to mind.

Dead Egyptian Blues is a favorite track around our house. It is a very cool song (even though they did not write it) and performed extremely well.

This has the one Trout song that I do not like on it- Park Avenue and Tyson Street. It is a litle dirge-like and pitched too low. Every other song is wonderful, though.


No Matter What goes Right is such a beautiful love song with very clever lyrics.

They show us once again that they are consummate musicians with a great sense of humor.

I hope they continue to produce adult music as good as this.

This is Trout's best albulm. It covers romantic songs (No Matter What Goes Right), Viciously Sad (You Can't Get There From Here), Family Love (Lullaby), and Comedic Cheatin' (Sam's Last Boogie). If you listen to this albulm, you will be a Trout Fan forever. For a more acoustical Trout Albulm try Truth Is Stranger Than Fishin.

This is a departure from their usual fare of kid-friendly stuff. Some ballads about love lost lend it a soulful air, but as usual the harmony and composition is superb. My favorite so far!

I own all of Trout's music, and this album is one I listen to again & again. It includes many of their best live music songs. My favorite cuts include Dead Egyptian Blues (really clever lyrics), No Matter What Goes Right (a really original love song)and the most beautiful of all, Lullaby. Ezra & Keith continue to turn out great music, but this a personal favorite in my CD collection.

Best Tracks: Dead Egyptian Blues, Park Avenue & Tyson Street, Lullaby

This CD, originally released in 1992, has several songs that were previously released by Keith and Ezra when they sold only tapes.

Sam's Last Boogie, Sing It One More Time Like That, Park Avenue & Tyson Street, How Many Times A Fool, and Lullaby have all been slightly revamped for the additional instruments--which doesn't take away from the originals.

This CD showcases what they boys are all about. Good music, good musicianship, and just a great album.

As a 10 year fan of Trout Fishing in America, I can unequivocally say that this is my favorite band of all time. I see them live whenever they come thru Texas.

My personal ranking of their 3 Adult CD's has "Who Are These People?" first, "Truth is Stranger than Fishing" second, and "Over the Limit" third.

This CD is my least favorite of the three, not because I don't like the songs (all of them are great...live), but because a few tracks on this CD are over-produced. This music sounds best live and in person. Go see them when they come thru your area. They tour all over the US and Canada (and have even been to Europe! ).

Trout Fishing in America is the defining band in an old genera that they created... Acid Vaudville. If you ever get a chance to see this band live, you must. However since moving to the Pacific Northwest, I have to settle for listening to their albums all day long. This was a breakthrough album for Trout Fishing in America. As an old fan I appreciated getting such hits as Sam's Last Boogie on a CD rather than the older tapes that they recoded their first albums on.
