CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Spawning in one way or another both the Waitresses and The Black Keys should count for something. If not, than this release should put Tin Huey in its place as a progenitor of the quirky Akron sound later expounded by both Devo and The Bizzaros alike. This release collects up the bands earliest recordings, spanning the years 1974-1979. For fans, as Robert Christgau describes in the liner notes, of fancy key changes, gut-swooping tempo shifts, elaborate arrangements, and meters you figure out on a calculator. Artwork by Derf.

CD ReviewsAhead of its time Stephen Alleman | New Orleans, LA United States | 12/15/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Tin Huey was a band that never got its due. This is material that was recorded before its major label release, Contents Dislodged During Shipment (also available on CD now and also highly recommended). It's surprisingly well recorded considering, and it's a fine introduction to a very unique band. I won't try to characterize its sound, but Tin Huey was another one of the idiosyncratic bands that were coming out of Ohio in the late 70s (like Pere Ubu and Devo, check out The Akron Compilation album for an overview of some the scene's even more obscure artists). Each one sounded unlike each other and unlike anything else that was going on at the time. This was not a recipe for commercial success, but this release proves that Tin Huey had something special, and we're lucky that those of us who did not live in that part of the country then can hear this stuff now after all these years."
