LICORICE TREE records is peddling a fine volume entitled SHAKIN' IN MY BOOTS: A Texas Rock'n'Roll Compilation. Following on from their debut release by THEE FINE LINES, SIMB is chock full of a broad church of garage action which includes known felons juch as Jesus Christ Superfly and 00 Spies alongside combos which are new to me such as The Stepbrothers (with Mike Mariconda), The (Mariconda produced) Hotrails, The Crack Pipes and The Sunday Drunks. It also features a cut by The Ka-nives, a group so savvy that it brought Jack T outta retirement to issue a 45 on Lance Rock. McLemore Avenue's "A Toy Robot" is a stand-out on what is a very strong prospective roster. LT could be on their way to becoming the Texan Estrus.
