Spawning in one way or another both the Waitresses and The Black Keys should count for something. If not, than this release should put Tin Huey in its place as a progenitor of the quirky Akron sound later expounded by both Devo and The Bizzaros alike.
This release collects up the bands earliest recordings, spanning the years 1974-1979, including the first ever recordings of the lineup that became known as The Waitresses. 18 songs in all!
For fans, as Robert Christgau describes in the liner notes, of fancy key changes, gut-swooping tempo shifts, elaborate arrangements, and meters you figure out on a calculator.
'Tin Huey's blend of blues, jazz and progressive rock is hilariously unique, offering up a warped vision of Middle America.' --Trouser Press
