The Beat Farmers were critical faves on the West Coast in the early to mid 1980s, and they were on Rhino Records when that label tried to branch off from oldies-only releases to releasing new material, too.
I don't know what happened to this band, but this was a pretty good record. I think I bought it when I was on my one and only trip to California way back in 1985 or so--I believe I bought it in a Tower Records store there, which might have been in Anaheim or one of the surrounding areas.

Hi Larry, I don't know why the Title is Lonesome Hound(s) It a song about one man's life so Lonesome Hound sounds much cooler and it is what a hidden gem ! Thanks,
