is the record that brought
their first Top Ten record, making them stars in the process. It couldn't have happened to a better record.
finally got their low-down, cheerfully sleazy blooze-n-boogie right on this, their third album. As their sound gelled, producer
discovered how to record the trio so simply that they sound indestructible, and the group brought the best set of songs they'd ever have to the table. On the surface, there's nothing really special about the record, since it's just a driving
album from a Texas bar band, but that's what's special about it. It has a filthy groove and an infectious feel, thanks to
' growling guitars and the steady propulsion of
and
's rhythm section. They get the blend of bluesy shuffles, gut-bucket rocking, and off-beat humor just right.
's very identity comes from this earthy sound and songs as utterly infectious as
and the
boogie
In a sense, they kept trying to remake this record from this point on -- what is
if not
with sequencers and synthesizers? -- but they never got it better than they did here. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
