TOWER OF DUDES / THE HEX
“Boring Country Songs
(Northern Gothic Recordings)
Cowpunk. You know it. You love it. You live it. You’re in Canada, why not buy a tape? You’re in America, why not also buy a tape? You’re in the Czech Republic – buy a friggin tape!
I love the name “Tower of Dudes” for some reason. And “The Hex” was a Pavement song (with an extra “x,” but who’s counting?). Pavement’s the best.
These dusty tunes are about drinkin’ and carousin’ and kickin’ up yer heels and rustlin’ steer and payin’ back yer student loans (?). But you knew that already. You knew it in your bones. You have boots on, a Stetson, probably chambray. Fringe. Spurs. Packin’ heat? Yeah you are.
Walkmen are made for this.
Just don’t walk into a local place with one of those yella sport ones. I hear they don’t take kindly to the yella sport ones.
Hey, don’t look at me, I’m just the messenger.
