Beat Farmers: Poor & Famous

"The Beat Farmers' third album for MCA/Curb is also their most glossily commercial, a transparent attempt to dress up their rough-edged roots rock in more commercially-presentable duds. The fact that the subterfuge doesn't work not only isn't a failing, it's what gives the album it's tension and makes it the most musically interesting and satisfying studio album since their indie debut, TALES OF THE NEW WEST. Limited vinyl LP pressing of this 1989 album.
