Since their early releases were so disjointedly frazzled that the phrase "better living through chemistry" suddenly sounded like a ruse, it was quite a surprise when Truxsters Jennifer Herrema and Neil Hagerty found their groove on this 1993 release. Yes, it's still shaky and slurred, but with distinct elements of Exile on Main Street-era Stones and unreconstructed biker rock thrown into the mix on tracks like "Skywood Greenback Mantra" and the hazily uplifting "Let's Get Lost." Hagerty's playing--an eye-opening fusion of Neil Young lope and Magic Band-derived jitters--is plenty bracing on its own, but when wedded to Herrema's dissipated, bluesy rasp, the effect is truly galvanizing. Keep on Truxin', indeed. --David Sprague

Album Description
Vinyl LP pressing. 2010 reissue of this album from the Alt-Rock heroes. Summer '93: whether you believed it or not, the stakes were rising like high water all around. It was better to accept it; there was money in the air for those who wanted some. Royal Trux dreamed about close encounters with money; it was their kind of time. And in kind, they were ready to give music back that would be worth the money worth it for everyone. Meanwhile, it was just over two years since Twin Infinitives redefined the bottom of the barrel for listeners and those who watched the listeners (who listened too of course). Royal Trux had tried silence and they preferred rock and roll. Their untitled album of late 1992 was a sign of life; a sign illuminated by a three-month run down the road in the fall of that year
