Genuine punk Tex-Mex, Sir Doug meets Them meets the Shadows of Knight meets Sam the Sham, and the only problem is that the Ramones thought of it first: toons stripped down to their hooks, with Kris Cummings's friendly Farfisa doodles replacing Johnny's monomaniacal strum and echoes of polka and norteño in the jerky propulsion of the thing. Minimalism with roots, kind of--the irony in these calls to fun is a lot sweeter, a lot surer of its ground, than New Yorkers commonly get away with. - robertchristgau

thanks a million times for this
one. was looking after it for
over 25 years. Coooooooool
Bueeenaa ! Had this one in the 80's saw him in concert several times, just awesome, great to hear it again, thanx sooo much!
His best record.
Damn good choice.
Great post Ryp, can't thank you enough! I have this LP on vinyl but it's too worn out from thousands of parties in the 80's. JKC was great live, too.
Buena!
We were just talking about this rekkid the other day!
I have the vinyl, but this will make it easier for the young folk to listen to "Houston El Mover" and other classic greats.
Got to see the Crowns at The Pier in Raleigh, NC back in the day in support of their major label debut. Man, that chick on Farfisa was HOT!
Just sayin'.
Thanks! Don't know where my vinyl copy ended up. Bands I've been in have covered "Betty's World" and "Bad Bad Girls" offa this one.
Loving this!
Thanks!
Wow! Any chance of re-upping this puppy? Thanks!
