Description

Recorded in Chicago by Alex Hall (JD McPherson, Pokey LaFarge, The Cactus Blossoms, The Flat Five) at Reliable Recordings with production assistance and instrumental contributions from Tommy Stinson (The Replacements, Bash & Pop), here The Yawpers stretch their sound and ambition in challenging, impassioned, and dynamic directions. Boy in a Well sounds like Alan Lomax using his field recorder to capture Mance Lipscomb ripping a laced joint (or something much more potent) with The Cramps and strapping on their instruments to let it fly into the finest, frenetic trucker-speed induced scuzz blues.
