Now listening to one of my favourite early 1990s 'alt-country' although I think more power-pop/indie LPs.
I had the chance to meet and interview Freedy a few years later but missed the boat. Consistent songwriter but this is probably his masterpiece.

Channelling the spirit of alt-country circa 1992 it seems. All design aspects were channeled through the ordained minister of the First Church of Lightnin' Hopkins the Reverant Trailer Star. He acted as official advisor throughout.
