Album Notes Contains the I KNOW YOU FINE BUT HOW YOU DOIN' LP and the HOUSEROCKIN' LP. On this follow-up to their full-length debut, the Gories delight fans of low-fi garage blues, serving up a number of covers and originals in their characteristic frenzied style as previously heard on HOUSE ROCKIN'. Noteworthy tracks include "Thunderbird ESQ," an alcoholic's love song, and the somber "That's the View From Here." Also included on the album is a rocking version of Suicide's "Ghostrider" that almost shames the original. Throughout the album Dan and Mick on guitar (the Gories had no bassist) intentionally hit every wrong note. The result is a disjointed sound probably unknown to the blues before the era of Prozac. The Gories brought the blues into the '90s, in a post-punk format; I KNOW YOU FINE BUT HOW YOU DOIN' feels at once retro and modern.
Editorial Reviews Rated #58 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - ...Top-shelf aching wailing of the booziest bluesiest kind... Alternative Press (07/01/1995)
...Keeping garage-rock's embers burning... Q (06/01/2002)
With two guitarists and a drummer making bluesy noise so loose and deceptively amateurish that it sounds improvised on the spot. Spin
