Review

Option (11-12/94, p.116) - "...Compilation of Chicago neo-country recordings from new bands who like old stuff as it's trickled down through Slim Whitman and Boxcar Willie....Some of these kids...manage to integrate the country and bluegrass stuff they profess to with contemporary rock aesthetics..."

Title Note

Includes liner notes by Jon Langford.

The compilation that introduced Chicago's Bloodshot label to an unsuspecting world is something of an alt country primer, with contributions from such future stars of the then-fledgling genre as Freakwater, the Bottle Rockets, Robbie Fulks, and the Handsome Family. Highlighting the musical diversity and fertility of the early-1990s Chicago insurgent country scene, as well as its deeper musical roots, the collection also includes both 1950s and contemporary recordings by the Sundowners, a country combo which held sway for decades at a downtown dive bar called the RR Ranch, next to the city's Greyhound bus station. They don't come more authentic than that.
