Tav Falco's Panther Burns "Sugarditch Revisited" 12'/33rpm-EP 1987

With his backing band Panther Burns, Tav Falco has created some of the rawest, sloppiest, wildest, and most amateurish rock roll of the 1980s and '90s; a Falco LP generally features obvious mistakes that, for his fans, are more than made up for by Falco's excitement and enthusiasm. - Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Falco recorded Sugar Ditch Revisited at Sam Phillips' Memphis studio with "Lx" Chilton and a few other Panther Burnsmen; the six tracks are well played, well sung, well recorded, under control and somewhat underwhelming. The countrybilly spirit and sincerity is there, but the performances start and stop without ever really heating up, and the absence of chaos leaves the simple (if esoterically sourced) material to stand alone, which — until the frisky finale, "Tina, the Go Go Queen" — it doesn't do all that well. - by Jon Young / Terry Rompers / Art Black
