The A-Bones: Daddy Wants A Cold Beer and Other Million Sellers
Two CD’s worth of single sides, collaborations, and rarities from the Pride of Norton Records. As close to a “Best of the A-Bones” set as currently exists, this is a great overview of their wild, beer fueled rock ‘n’ roll that honors what’s fun about rock’s first two decades without getting pretentious about it. And the sides with the Great Gaylord confirm he is the greatest not-so-great vocalist of his generation. If you’ve never heard the A-Bones, this is an excellent introduction.
