about
Central Texas goofball cowpunks unveil the Seventh Seal of the Apocalypse with this “tribute to the rock’n’roll of Canada” -- an unlikely mash-up of Rush, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Triumph, Vancouver’s Subhumans and D.O.A. in a half-baked bid to get Canadian work visas and become upper Saskatchewan’s lowest-paid cover band should the U.S. election go sideways. Wish them luck, God help us all.

A little Saustex ALWAYS hits the spot... particularly loved the unreleased tracks from The Beaumonts and The Hickoids!
I recommend ALL of the Saustex samplers for ANYONE intrigued by ANY of the artists included - the FIRST sampler was only the SECOND Saustex CD that I bought... and I've searched out many more to add to my music collection! - Robert Scott rdscott450

I've been listening to this recording almost nonstop since receiving it. After reading the liner notes from Jeff Smith, I was stunned to find out that this was such a recent release.
The music sounds so classic and timeless, I couldn't believe that it had just been released this year! I've heard many of the songs before, and enjoyed seeing The Hickoids before - and this is a beautiful time capsule.
If you like any of the songs, or the artists, or rock & roll, check it out! - Robert Scott rdscott450

I'm currently mourning my missing the 2021 Austin Corn Lovers Fiesta. With that in mind, I was very happy to get the latest Saustex sampler! From acts that I'm not familiar with to unreleased songs by Saustex stalwarts, this has got the cure for what ails ya! - Robert Scott rdscott450
