Excellent album. The songs and lyrics fit happily right into life today as they did then.I originally heard the song "Happy Boy" years ago on the radio, and then found it recently on the 'net which led to my discovering all the other Beat Farmers songs and albums. I play it all the time. DJ.

small but effective

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2000

This is not exactly what I'd call 'paltry' but then again, I'm doing this for free and I actually bought the album. Admittedly eleven tracks leaves you wanting more and if sheer volume of good music is your aim you might want the band's live album which weighs in with 21 tracks.
But these are eleven very good tracks, some of which are not on the larger album. Gun Sale At the Church and Girl I Almost Married are a good reason to get this one, as are the excellent studio versions of Riverside, Blue Chevrolet and God Is Here Tonight.
If you already have the live album, this one is a nice addition. If you don't, it's a nice start. Either way, you're likely to end up getting both.

Get 'Expanded Tales' First

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2012

I hate to write anything saying to not buy a Beat Farmer CD, since they were the best American band of the 1980s, and I counted several members as friends for decades. But I believe in consumers getting the best for their money, too. The best way to get the Beat Farmers' best music is to buy Tales of the New West Expanded CD,which includes the Glad and Greasy, New West tracks and demos of many of the best tracks from Van Go. Fantastic disc. Now, Joey Harris isn't on the tracks on that disc, and his contributions to the band over the years, as well as founding member Buddy Blue, are good music. Solution to the quandry? Well, if you don't get EVERY BF disc ever recorded plus every radio bootleg, like yours truly, get Expanded Tales, and spring for Pursuit of Happiness and this Greatest Hits disc (to pick up Riverside, Socialite, and Lucille). This will give a pretty good picture of the some of the best of this great band, though they kept making great music, and continue to do so as the Farmers.

A better choice

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2006

I live in San Diego (where The Farmers are from too) and was going to The Beat Farmer shows almost every night they played here in town starting back in about 83 at a little dive bar called The Spring Valley Inn.All of there albums were great but NEVER did them justice of a live Beat Farmer show.(so forget getting "The Best Of cd here) There was two lives to The Beat Farmers,the first was in those early days and they put out 2 studio albums (with Buddy Blue) then 4 more studio ones and Loud and Plouwed and LIVE! with Joey Harris replacing him.So...Go get Loud Plowed & LIVE! It was recorded on New Years Eve (and I was there too)BUT also...about 2 years ago a guy found a tape he made from the Spring Valley Inn days,Buddy mixed it and put it out as a cd that you can get too.(I was at that show too)That one was from the Buddy Blue era,Loud & Plowed is from the Joey Harris era.If you want to see them at thier best (I think) The Buddy era,go to the website "You Tube"I recorded a tv show they were on,gave it to the band,and one of them,gave it to a guy who posted the whole show on there.There was actually a "3rd era'in thier legacy when after Country Dick died about 10 years ago (on stage if you can believe that!)Buddy Blue rejoined the band and they put out a cd as just The Farmers.BUT...a few months ago Buddy died too,so they are back in limbo again.But I'm tellin' ya'll...watch those "You Tube" vids,go get "The Beat Farmers Live at The Spring Valley Inn 83" & Loud,Plowed and LIVE! and you will be (as Country Dick would sing) a HAPPY BOY!

Not exactly the best?

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2003

Although this CD has a few good highlights (Buddy Blue on a wonderful cover of Neil Young's Powderfinger, and some awesome slide guitar work on Blue Cheverolet) it seems to be bogged down with some "filler tunes" that most Beat Farmer fans can live without. Why leave out such classic tunes like Lost Weekend, or Texas? It seems this disc was hastily put out by their record company (supposedly without their permission). If you want to experience the true grit of the band, check out "Loud, Plowed, and Live". This is a far better "greatest hits" compilation, and a must have to truly appreciate the band.

Beat Farmers have always been underrated but their musical and lyrical prowess is undubted. I don't particularly like a couple of tracks but they do reflect the "live" experience.
