"While retro-rock proponents like the Rev. Horton Heat and Amazing Royal Crowns might be quasi-famous for bringing music with such a straightforward approach to the masses, the Paladins (strait outta San Diego) are the veterans in the biz, the dog-eared, door-to-door, blue-colloar rockers who don't get no 15 minutes of fame, but make the most out of every night pouring their lifeblood-music-into the crowds that pack into the nightclubs, dives and late-hour bars all across the country. One pair of ears and feet at a time. Let me ask you something. Do you take good care of your car? Do you treat your woman (or your man as it may be) right? You probably said, "yeah", but when was the last time you took her dancing for no reason, or you dragged against some sucker who had no idea what you had under the hood? Thought So. Now put this here album on and blast it with the windows down. Your car seems to wanna go faster doesn't it? And your lady-friend? She'll tell ya...Put on your dancing shoes, tonite's the night (This is a NEW version of the 1994 LP, "Ticket Home")"
