Wacoworld
''Wacoworld'' is an album by the Chicago-based band the Waco Brothers, released in 1999. Production ''Wacoworlds songs were written by Jon Langford and Dean Schlabowske. Poi Dog Pondering's horn section played on some of the album's tracks. Critical reception '' No Depression'' wrote that Schlabowske's "heavy, blue-collar vocal presence is a delight, especially on the soon-to-be-abducted-by-aliens weeper 'Hello to Everybody' and the outlawish 'Red Brick Wall'." Robert Christgau thought that Langford and Schlabowske "sing so lustily that the band's indifference to the niceties of country as it exists in history is of no consequence." ''The Washington Post'' opined that "forays into blues and Western swing aren't enough to keep ''Waco World'' interesting when Langford's distinctive songs yield to Schlabowske's merely competent ones." ''CMJ New Music Report'' decided that "the entire album brims with rough-hewn vocals, twangy electricity, and a cool, literary bent." ''Spin'' deemed ...

The Waco Brothers
The Waco Brothers are an American alternative country, or country-punk rock, band based in Chicago, Illinois, United States. History The Waco Brothers was formed by Jon Langford of the Mekons. The group grew out of Langford's wish to play more country-influenced music as the Mekons concentrated more on a punk sound. They were originally put together simply for local Chicago shows, but the success of their Bloodshot Records albums allowed them to tour the US occasionally. Some of the members also participated in Langford's Pine Valley Cosmonauts project. The band recorded the first of its studio albums in 1995. Their album, ''Waco Express: Live & Kickin' at Schuba's Tavern'' is a concert recording which Ken Tucker, the pop music critic for NPR's ''Fresh Air'' and editor-at-large at ''Entertainment Weekly'', described as "country as it should be written and played, with a long memory for roadhouse honky-tonks rather than TV-ready music videos."
