Town + Country

Town + Country

AMERICANA PIONEERSâ€™ DEBUT â€“ REISSUED AND EXPANDED! While the members of The Rave-Ups held day jobs in the mail room at A&M Records, they were able to use the labelâ€™s studios at night and during lunch breaks to record what would become a genre-defining release. Enlisting the help of producer Stephen Barncard (Grateful Deadâ€™s American Beauty) as well as the legendary pedal-steel player Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Town + Country appeared on the scene in 1985. The album gained enough attention to get the band featured in John Hughesâ€™ classic 1986 film, Pretty In Pink. Sadly, their â€œPositively Lost Meâ€ didnâ€™t make the soundtrack, and the Fun Stuff Records issued Town + Country fell out of print . Fans of the band (and the film) have been searching for it ever since. Three decades later, itâ€™s finally available again. This reissue of Town + Country features the original 10 songs, plus a whopping 11 previously unissued bonus tracksâ€”including live radio performances recorded at the legendary KCRW, as well as 1986 material co-produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos). A detailed historical essay from the bandâ€™s Jimmer Podrasky, complimented by numerous unseen photos from the sessions/era, make this not only a document of time + place, but one that helps document a moment in musical history. Town + Country has been gone for far too long. Now, fans can positively find it!
