Another one of my favorites from a "power" trio. This is raw folk-punk that is driven by Victor DeLorenzo's straight forward drum parts and Gordon Gano's rhythm guitar. Gordon's whiney vocals give the color but Brian Ritchie is core to their success (in my opinion.) He is an extremely gifted bass player and bumped up the energy and interest in every song. He also plays the xylophone in "Gone Daddy Gone" which claws that pull you into the hook. This album is full of teen angst and sexual frustration which makes it less accessible to the main stream but it's real even if you don't want to say it out loud. I love this album as a reminder of my awkward youth even if it doesn't apply to adult life or current mindset.
