So I think I'm going to start throwing up some...what I'm calling out of print classics, starting with this one. This was The Backsliders, from Raleigh, NC's first full length album from way back in 1997, and buddy it's a good one. Fans of the Bottle Rockets, and just loud twangy bar band country rock will surely enjoy this one. Standout tracks: the title track, Hey Sheriff, Paper Doll World, Last Train, If you Talk To My Baby, Broken Wings, and hell just about the whole damned thing.1. My Baby's Gone
2. Throwin' Rocks At The Moon
3. Lonesome Teardrops
4. Crazy Wind
5. Paper Doll World
6. Last Train
7. If You Talk To My Baby
8. Hey Sheriff
9. If I Was King
10. Broken Wings
11. Cowboy Boots

Thanks for this one, I've been dying to hear more from them since you put the title track on a comp way back when.
ReplyDeleteOh man, this is great. I loves me some Backsliders. If you have any more, please post 'em! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFantastic record. This album was one of my favorite jams back in '97-'98, and it's held up well. Thanks for getting this out there.
ReplyDeleteBTW, there's a band here in Dallas that goes by The BAcksliders [sic]. I cringe every time I see/hear about them. Blasphemy!! lol.
