State Of Our Union

Long Ryders, “State Of Our Union” (Island, 1985)
Coming out of L.A.’s early ‘80s neo-psych/roots-rock scene (Green On Red, Dream Syndicate, Etc.), these guys were moving toward the mainstream by the time this came out, but this is still pretty raw and stripped-down, archetypal middle-American rock and roll like Mellencamp or Petty if it was all still fresh to them.
