May 6 street date. Recorded exactly two years after acclaimed visual artist and songwriter Terry Allen's masterpiece "Lubbock (on everything)", the feral follow-up "Smokin The Dummy" is less conceptually focused but more sonically and stylistically unified than its predecessor - it's also rougher and rowdier, wilder and more wired, and altogether more menacingly rock and roll. The first album by Allen to share top billing with the Panhandle Mystery Band, here featuring Jesse Taylor on blistering lead guitar alongside the Maines brothers and Richard Bowden, "Smokin The Dummy" documents a ferocious new band in fully telepathic, tornado-fueled flight, refining its caliber, increasing its range, and never looking down. This first-ever vinyl reissue, remastered from the original analog tapes, includes a gatefold jacket and inner sleeve with restored, new, and alternate art and photos by Terry and Jo Harvey Allen; an insert with lyrics, original notes, Terry's letter to H.C. Westermann about the songs, and a high-res download code.
