• Track Listing

Their earliest demo recordings from the band’s infancy finds Maria McKee and company introducing their own material for the first time as they transitioned from their existence as a live cover band (doing Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and George Jones tunes). These are the six tracks they woodshedded live for nearly a year before taking them to the Record Plant for these demos, which helped lead them to Geffen Records. The version of "Drugstore Cowboy" here has been included on various compilations. The rest is all previously unreleased. Two tracks ("Working Late" and "Don’t Toss Us Away") would end up on their 1985 debut with "Don’t Toss Us Away" also going on to become a top 5 single for Patty Loveless in 1988. Omnivore.
