Album Notes

the power trio that is richmond fontaine can kick-up quite a maelstrom of footstomping cowpunk or they can take you down to your knees with a lilting tearjerker- all in one cd!...their sound is like a heady combo of the influential l.a. punk band 'x' and the minutemen with author cormac mccarthy penning lyrics- condensed into these three guys- with a dash of pedal steel to add spice every so often. whiskey soaked americana with a literary lyrical content from the brilliant pen of willy vlautin, funneled through his guitar and heart (and of course his airtight rhythm section) to produce some of the most honest and kick-ass music you'll ever hear!
