The Tail Gators "Tore Up" 1987

"Strap on those dancin' shoes, 'cause tonight the Tailgators are telling everybody It's a Hog Groove!"Swamp rock and gumbo variations abound in these grooves from this Austin trio. Great sounding guitars and toss in an accordian and we have ourselves a party brewing. Produced by Steve Berlin this outfit rips it up on a great batch of tunes. The cover B&W photo captures the essence of this record. Close your eyes and you can almost smell the mingling smoke of Texas BBQ and a large pot of gumbo and dirty rice. Toss this platter on the record player and grab yourself a brew or two.The Tail Gators:
Keith Ferguson (Bass), Don Leady (Fiddle, Guitar, Vocals), Gary Smith (Drums), Steve Berlin (percussion, keyboards), South Austin Natives (jungle noises)
recorded at Arlyn Studios; Austin, Texas
