For A Life Of Sin 1994

Here's where it all began. Here's where the term was coined. Inspired by a dream, a vision, or perhaps a tequila-induced frenzy coupled with a healthy disdain for most contemporary music. Volume One is a generous helping of Chicago's own roots-rockin'est shit-kickin'est Insurgent Country artists. Tracks from Moonshine Willy, Jon Langford (in his first Bloodshot incarnation), Swollen Spleens, Freakwater, Wink O'Bannon, Robbie Fulks (recorded by Steve Albini), two from the deans of Chicago country music, The Sundowners (including the 1950's barn-burner "Rockin' Spot"--originally recorded for Chess Records and lovingly re-mastered here), The Texas Rubies, Bottle Rockets, The Handsome Family, The New Duncan Imperials, The Riptones, and more. Disturbing cover art by Jon Langford.
