ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES - Love Their Country LP

Label: Fat Wreck

Me First And The Gimme Gimmes have returned to give us another round of punk rock covers, this time going down that 'ol Country & Western road.

And while this little super group of punk rock all-stars has always given us fun and welcoming rearrangements of some of rock, pop, and Broadway's best tunes and based their albums around lyrical themes, this is the first Gimme album that focuses strictly on one genre of music. And after 2004's somewhat tossed together live album "Ruin Johhny's Bar Mitzvah" (recorded live at an actual Bar Mitzvah) "Love Their Country" is a welcome return to the studio for a set of blistering, tight, and skillfully performed covers of the sort we have come to expect from this band.

Invigorating, thunderous, and perhaps most of all fun, this is one hayride I wouldn't miss for the world before heading off into the sunset. And nor should any other self-respecting punk rock cowpoke worth his or her saddle.
