What is it about northeastern Ohio? Some of the most challenging and adventurous bands of the American underground—Devo, Pere Ubu, the Electric Eels—have hailed from there, and this band, Tin Huey, stands tall on that list. Led by horn player Ralph Carney, keyboardist Harvey Gold and Waitress-to-be Chris Butler, Tin Huey put postpunk, free jazz, art rock and even blues into a Dadaist vaudeville stage show that somehow got them signed to Warner Brothers in the late-‘70s. The marriage was doomed from the start, but this album was its wonderfully weird offspring, here reissued for the first time on CD with new notes containing extensive quotes from the band members. Includes their oh-so-ironic cover of the Monkees’ "I’m a Believer," "The Revelations of Dr. Modesto," "I Could Rule the World If I Could Only Get the Parts," "Coronation," "Slide," "Hump Day," "Pink Berets," "Squirm You Worm," "Chinese Circus," "Puppet Wipes," and "New York’ Finest Dining Experience." Only from Collectors’ Choice Music!
