Wacoworld
Wacoworld is an album by the Chicago-based cowpunk band the Waco Brothers, released in 1999. Production
Wacoworld'''s songs were written by Jon Langford and Dean Schlabowske. Poi Dog Pondering's horn section played on some of the album's tracks. Critical receptionNo Depression wrote that Schlabowske's "heavy, blue-collar vocal presence is a delight, especially on the soon-to-be-abducted-by-aliens weeper 'Hello To Everybody' and the outlawish 'Red Brick Wall'." Robert Christgau thought that Langford and Schlabowske "sing so lustily that the band's indifference to the niceties of country as it exists in history is of no consequence." The Washington Post opined that "forays into blues and Western swing aren't enough to keep Waco World interesting when Langford's distinctive songs yield to Schlabowske's merely competent ones." CMJ New Music Report decided that "the entire album brims with rough-hewn vocals, twangy electricity, and a cool, literary bent." Spin'' deemed it "flesh'n'blood country-western insurgence." AllMusic lamented that "the English cowboy gag is wearing thin." Track listing
