The Baptist Generals - No Silver/No Gold




A swell band from down in Texas. Sub Pop sure knows how to pick 'em. Take a plunge into the strange and make sure you do so nice and loud as Chris Flemmon's nasally vocals and the somber, country twang of acoustic frenzy and hillbilly sonata give your chances of having whomever listening in from across the walls tell you to "shut-off that racket." it was put quite nicely in the 2003 album review on iTunes that you are very well listening to the "audio equivalent to vinegar." Deeply personal and twisted, Flemmon's puts his heart into every single one of these songs, which make this whole indie rock/pop venture seem like an experiment.

A Stranger In This World - Kevin Canty


1994. There's a certain type of America in the unwanted, the taken for granted.
