Unlike the Alt-Country of that CD this is more their usual Punk and Rock style. This is another one I have played before and has a few good songs. &#8220;Memphis, Egypt&#8221; is one I have heard played on the radio. &#8220;Learning To Live On Your Own&#8221; sung by Sally Timms sounded very familiar to me, probably another one on one of my Rock and Roll Tunes cassettes. Will put it on my playlist. &#8220;Cocaine Lil&#8221; is comical until Lil dies at the end of the song. &#8220;Amnesia&#8221; was on one of the cassettes I had of theirs, some kind of an EP. &#8220;Empire Of The Senseless&#8221;, a political song, is another one I liked as is &#8220;Blow Your Tuneless Trumpet&#8221;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one is from 1989 and probably bought around the same time as The Original Sin.
