Stellar, eclectic compilation, November 18, 2009
This review is from: Scene Heard Rare & Unreleased Tracks Compiled By Dallas Observer (Audio CD)
I have had this CD for years, and each and every song is amazing! I was shocked that all these great acts came from Dallas, a city I grew up in and always thought was stupendously dull. Anyway, there is a great mix of stuff on here. The Vibrolux song is incredible, and I'm still sad I've never been able to find any of their albums in print. The Old 97's W.I.F.E. is hilarious, especially considering they must have been about 17 when they wrote and sang it. The Fuzz songs are supremely idiotic--who the hell are these guys--they are nuts! The Cowboys and Indian's cover of Hank Williams Roly Poly is great (a song I now sing to my son). The old blues guy singing about his mother is amazing... check out his story. Brave Combo is amazing. The music is very diverse, so the tracks don't really mesh with each other necessarily, but everything on here is excellent. I wish this CD packaging had become an annual tradition.
