Notes:  From out of the scrub brush on the edge of the desert comes a trio who were making their brand of music well before alt-country and Americana were the new thing to come down the 'pike. Don't get me wrong, I love the alt-America stuff, but there is something right and real about the Puppets and the songs they sing. This record is a bit more mellow than I remembered the first time around, but that in no way reduces the amount of pleasure to be gotten from a few repeated listenings. The cover art appears to be painted in thick layers in a slightly southwestern palette. Hey, any cover with a bottle of Tobasco on it is welcome at my table, any meal of the day.

Line Up:

Curt Kirkwood: guitar, vocals
Cris Kirkwood: bass vocals
Derrick Bostrom: drums
