Product Description

Holy cow indeed! It’s the only album from Hollywood star Bill Paxton’s rock band! Think quirky dance-pop a la B-52’s and Oingo Boingo, as Paxton and his partner Andy Todd enlist the aid of left-of-center screen stars like Bud Cort and Judge Reinhold on this 1988 release. It’s another exclusive release from our Noble Rot label, with sweet digipak packaging! --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music, too bad they made just 1 cd, May 14, 2003

By	Mark Shapiro "www.JudgmenBuy.com" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a group - high energy music - the Fat-Burning Formula song is hilarious, and almost every song is perfect for the modern 80s high energy clever music liker. Oh how I wish they lasted longer and made another CD

3.0 out of 5 stars Bill Paxton in a Band?, January 23, 2005

By	Roger Jollie (Northern ILLINOIS) - See all my reviews

Bill Paxton of Aliens and Titanic was a member of this band. The music video for REACH is excellent. Even more interesting is that James Cameron (Aliens Titanic) was the director of the video. Now to find the entire CD....

5.0 out of 5 stars Other side of Devo!, May 10, 2009

Awesome music with a distasteful cover art (go figure). Really like the 'western-sounding' flavor IMO. The lead singer from Devo was the singer for "How Can the Labouring Man Find Time for Self-Culture?"

I recommend this album for anyone working on the farm.

As good as Boys Don't Cry (you can't find any song from their one-hit wonder "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" so I have done random search, but there is an extended version you can request on Flashback Alternatives).

Whether you like this genre of music or remember one-hit wonders from the 1980s, this album should hit the spot. A great listen on-the-go!

It is probably safe to say you might have heard of Devo, but not heard of Martini Ranch. (Yes, again, ode to the farmer. Giddy-up! - I am no farmer.)
