Huevos
(1987)

by
Meat Puppets
Recorded and released just a few months after the experimental Mirage, 1987's Huevos was a return to the Meat Puppets' earlier, more straight-ahead direction. The band (guitarist/singer Curt Kirkwood in particular) had always voiced their admiration of ZZ Top, and Huevos contained Billy Gibbons & Co.'s influence more than any other Puppets release ...

Rank and File
The first wave of cowpunk launched by Jason & the Scorchers had begun to fade out and the alt-country scene which would follow the release of Uncle Tupelo's first album was eight years away when Rank and File offered their own distinct mixture of punk rock and classic country with their superb debut album, Sundown. Led by Tony Kinman and Chip ...

Monsters

by
Meat Puppets
The Meat Puppets' final release for SST, 1989's Monsters is best described as a cross between their experimental Mirage and the more in-your-face Huevos (both released only a few months apart in 1987). Several major labels had been hotly pursuing the trio, but when negotiations slowed to a snail's pace, they decided to issue another album on SST ...

Beat Farmers
With the original band personnel intact, the second Beat Farmers album, Van Go, continues the group's approach as a down and dirty country-rock band. Lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Jerry Raney comes up with some great originals, such as "Deceiver" and "Gun Sale Down at the Church," that are delivered in the Farmers' sweaty, alcohol-drenched ...

by
Meat Puppets
The Meat Puppets' second album, 1984's appropriately titled Meat Puppets II, has since gone down in the rock history books as an all-time classic, and rightfully so. The Meat Puppets were one of the first punk acts to inject different musical styles into their sound, something that was an absolute no-no at the time -- especially the sparkling ...

Two years separated Rank and File's acclaimed debut album, Sundown, and 1984's follow-up, Long Gone Dead, and the band had gone through some major changes in the interim. Guitarist Alejandro Escovedo left the group to form the True Believers, and drummer Slim Evans had also parted ways with the band, leaving vocalists and songwriters Chip Kinman ...

Wildfires and Misfires: Two Decades of Outtakes and Rarities

by
Jason & the Scorchers
Subtitled Two Decades of Outtakes and Rarities, this generous 19-track, 72-minute disc assembles odds and sods from cowpunk's hardest-rocking gang. Although they may be called leftovers, these tunes slice as hard and sharp as what was originally released on their studio albums from 1983-1998 (OK, so it's not quite 20 years), and in some cases ...

Loud and Plowed and...LIVE!! is a "best of live" collection that shows the Beat Farmers at the height of their powers in their best environment. Since none of their studio albums were able to completely capture the raw energy and fun of the Beat Farmers, this remains the definitive document of their career and is the best place to start.

Out My Way
(1986)
more music like this
by
Meat Puppets
When originally released in 1986, the six-track Out My Way EP was supposed to be a stop-gap release -- guitarist/singer Curt Kirkwood had broken his finger, and needed time to recover. Musically, the EP showed that the Puppets were moving on from their early punk sound to a more traditional rock direction. But the band's originality was still ...

What does a band do when they're trying to follow up a masterpiece? Release another masterpiece, of course. That's exactly what the Meat Puppets did with 1985's Up on the Sun. Issued one year after Meat Puppets II, the songwriting had become more focused, the performances were tighter, and Curt Kirkwood's vocals had progressed from a high-pitched ...

The Best of the Beat Farmers

by
Beat Farmers
The Best of the Beat Farmers is a skimpy, 10-track survey of the band's career that covers their best known songs. For those who just need a taste, the album works well as a basic introduction. Liner notes would have been nice. Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide

While Jason & the Scorchers' first two national releases -- the Fervor EP and the long-playing follow-up, Lost & Found -- earned reams of good reviews and blazed a trail for the cowpunk and alt-country movements that followed in their wake, they earned far more fame than record sales. Their second LP, 1986's Still Standing, seems to have been an ...

First released in 1995 as an LP with a limited pressing of 1,000 copies, Jack's Creek is infamously known as Sun City Girls' "hillbilly record." If you're familiar with SCG (and you probably are if you're reading this), you've already guessed that if these guys ever decided to go hillbilly, they probably did so all the way. Well, you're right. ...

Rugburns
The Rugburns second album is filled with zany, heart wrenching tales of unrequited love and drug-induced madness. The songs are humorous, but at the same time earnest to the point of being disconcerting; possibly suggesting that songwriter Steve Poltz really fell in love with "The Girl With the Wandering Eye." Each tune feels upbeat and drenched ...

Meat Puppets
As many Meat Puppets fans had realized by 1987's Mirage, the trio would change gears and broaden their sound with each successive album. This was never more apparent than on their fourth full-length release. Synthesizers were used to add textures to the tunes, while the drums sounded metronome-perfect, almost as if a drum machine was supplying the ...

Irreverent and raunchy, would you expect anything less from Mojo Nixon? Not for the kiddies or Tipper Gore's of the world, this CD is hilarious if you listen to it in the spirit in which it was recorded (a few trips to the eggnog-spiked punch bowl might help). "Mr. Grinch" is a perfect vehicle for Nixon's from-the-gutter vocals, while his original ...

Although the Meat Puppets would later become best known for their intriguing blend of country, punk, rock, folk, psychedelia, and whatever else they could toss in their musical blender, the trio's 1982 self-titled full-length debut was a furious hardcore album.
