This is a reissue of the classic 1976 Terry Allen release on Fate Records, which was unreleased outside of the USA. It is part of Sugar Hill's plan to restore all of Allen's recordings to print again. As it says in the liner notes, "It is a compilation of out-takes, in-takes, mistakes, work tapes, added tos, taken froms, omissions and foreign materials". "When he played his songs for me, I called his attention to the fact that some of what he was playing had inconsistent measures and that he was adding and/or dropping beats from some of his songs. Terry quickly let me know that 'it's music, not a math problem'. That comment changed my perception of music forever. I realized that in art, there are no rules. That day started my 28 year musical adventure with Terry Allen." Lloyd Maines, from liner notes.

A Best Kept Secret
Terry Allen is funny and has depth,insight, can be searingly critical. But his beat is so infectious you can't stand still when you hear it.I don't drink at all, never fooled around in honky tonks, but I know good lyrics when I hear them; this guy is one of Country Music's best kept secrets.

Actually this is my least favorite of his many CD's
Actually this is my least favorite of his many CD's. My husband and I now have ten of his recordings and cannot get enough. His lyrics are quite original, often sweet, intelligent, and funny. The band he plays with is awesome too with an unending repertoire of fantastic riffs. We have nearly all of his recordings now and have quit listening to anyone else.Try Human Remains or Lubbock to see if you like his many styles.

Nice music for nice people
It's not pop, it's not rock, it's not for people who don't like to think, and ponder, and laugh, and drink, and drink some more. But if that's your thing, this might be for you.

Terry Allen = Great!
When it comes to consistency, Terry Allen comes to mind, or should, if you enjoy eclectic music. I have all his albums now, thanks to Amazon. Give him a listen, you may be surprised. d2iq

Some very good. Some good. The majority should stay silent.
