• Track Listing

The Paisley Underground movement in L.A. was all about throwback sounds in contrast to the synths and drum machines of the ’80s, and the Long Ryders were the country-rock part of that scene. Their 1987 LP pairs melodic hooks with rock guitars as well as mandolins, harmonica and autoharp: "Gunslinger Man," "I Want You Bad," "Prairie Fire," "Long Story Short" and more. This 3-CD remastered reissue adds bonus songs, demos and a Palm Springs show: "Ring Bells," "17 Ways," "Man of Misery," "Basic Black," "A Stitch in Time," "Spectacular Fall," "The Light Gets in the Way," "Capturing the Flag" and more! Cherry Red.
