The 1985 Listening Post - Green on Red - Gas Food Lodging

Green on Red - Gas Food Lodging


#188
1985 Housekeeping
Green on Red
Gas Food Lodging
Genre: American Rock
4 out of 5

Highlights:
That’s What Dreams Were Made For
Hair of the Dog

Is this “Alt-Country”? Someone else, smarter than me, more knowledgable of the genre, could edify me here. 
No matter, this is a nice companion piece to Danny & Dusty (this is the Danny portion). Like the last record, the Replacements run hard in the veins of these guys. A sub-genre is brewing and I put that squarely on the shoulders of Violent Femmes. 
If this is where GoR is headed, I’m along for that ride. I am rapidly becoming an alt-country 1985 fan and this just keeps that train rolling.
