Liner notes: “Welcome to what you knew,” murmurs Curt Kirkwood on this charming country-punk shuffle, which feels like a homecoming with family and friends.
Behind the music: Now in their fourth decade, the Arizona-bred desert rockers were favorites of Kurt Cobain, who recruited Curt and Cris Kirkwood to back him on three Meat Puppets songs for Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged.
