Review

Entertainment Weekly (10/27/00, p.121) - "...Jangling catchiness....the soul of CHAIR is in doom-struck tunes like 'Dragging My Own Tombstone' that wouldn't sound out of place on a Hank Williams collection."
CMJ (10/16/00, p.32) - "...America's finest bar band, it's the difference between survival and sedation."
No Depression (11-12/00, pp.113-4) - "...Finds the gang swashbuckling back into the barroon fray..."

Recorded at Kingsize Sound Laboratories & Schuba's Tavern, Chicago, Illinois.

Blood relatives to the mighty Mekons, the Waco Brothers have been described as Clash meets (Johnny) Cash. They're really closer to the lean, crackling twang of Steve Earle, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the Band, mixed with the oblique, vinegary working-class angst of Graham Parker and the more plain-spoken angst of Merle Haggard.

The Waco Brothers' country influence is more implicit than overt; it's present in the vivid sound of the steel guitar and a blue-collar sense of the inexorability of life. "When I Get My Rewards" is a haunted waltz of fervent desire that Haggard or Cash should cover. "Nothing to Say" is a vitriolic, blues-shaded Stones-meet-T. Rex rocker that articulates discontent at the current glut of style over content, while the sardonic yet plaintive "Where in the World" wouldn't be out of place on Neil Young's ZUMA or AMERICAN STARS AND BARS albums. Of the two main songwriters, Jon Langford's voice is Northern England-accented, dusty and sarcastic, while Dean Schlabowske's vocals are deep and spirited (he sounds a bit like Dave Alvin). With ELECTRIC WACO CHAIR the Waco Brothers prove they can walk the line with the best of them.
