Release Notes:

This was the era of post-punk Los Angeles, and bands
like X, the Blasters and Rank & File made great
records. Sundown is Rank & File's great contribution
to this scene, and despite the bizarre and egregious
career moves of the Kinman brothers over the past
decade-plus, Sundown is as strong, tuneful and
compelling as the day it was released. With their
voices locking together imperfectly and Alejandro
Escovedo's guitar providing sharp counterpoint, this
is a great chunk of cowpunk that would please even
the most doctrinaire country traditionalist, as well
as beat the hell out of nearly all of the new
generation of country hacks. Not bad for a couple of
punks from L.A.
