US first press 1987. Record perfect. Sleeve has minor wear.
Dumptruck's third album, For the Country, was its last; the core duo of Seth Tiven and Kirk Swan had split up with Swan's departure, and legal troubles would sink the band for good shortly after the album's release. There are harbingers of doom in Tiven's downcast lyrics, but these are his strongest and most well-crafted songs yet; "Island," the faintly Memphis-flavored "Hung Out on a Line," and the country-rock jangle of "Wire" all pack a serious wallop, and the band manages to make good use of Welsh producer Hugh Jones' state-of-the-art studio without coming across as slick or overprocessed.
