The self-titled album is my favorite--super songs and reasonably well-recorded. There are some fun, sunny day driving tunes and a few well-rendered laid back titles like "All I Ever Wanted". Great bass guitar playing throughout with Jerry providing some nice pedal steel.

Panama Red is also a great record, but there is a persistent tape hiss that encroaches on the music and is hard to ignore.

Here is a case where the Joe Gaswirt remastered cd's clearly surpass the original vinyl recordings--better bass, crisper highs and a fuller sound. I'd suggest looking for these either new or used.
