Album artwork for Cats and Dogs by Royal Trux

Because of this great record, royal trux were signed to virgin records later on that year. Since their early releases were so disjointedly frazzled that the phrase 'better living through chemistry' suddenly sounded like a ruse, it was quite a surprise when truxsters Jennifer Herrema and Neil Hagerty found their groove on this 1993 release. Yes, it's still shaky and slurred, but with distinct elements of exile on main street-era stones and unreconstructed biker rock thrown into the mix on tracks like 'Skywood Greenback Mantra' and the hazily uplifting 'Let's Get Lost.' Hagerty's playing - an eye-opening fusion of Neil Young lope and magic band-derived jitters - is plenty bracing on its own, but when wedded to Herrema's dissipated, bluesy rasp, the effect is truly galvanizing. keep on truxin', indeed.

Tracklist:
1. Teeth
2. The Flag
3. Friends
4. The Spectre
5. Skywood Greenback Mantra
6. Turn Of The Century
7. Hot And Cold Skulls
8. Up The Sleeve
9. Tight Pants
10. "Let's Get Lost"
11. Driving In That Car (With The Eagle On The Hood)
