{"product_id":"the-men-that-god-forgot","title":"The Men That God Forgot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.   Shaking off the plague days like a snake sheds its skin the Waco Brothers stumble out of the empty, burning desert with a fierce thirst and an epic new album: \u003ci\u003eThe Men That God Forgot\u003c\/i\u003e. It's the first  collection of original Waco tunes since 2016's \u003ci\u003eGoing Down In History\u003c\/i\u003e and comes to you via their own label Plenty Tuff Records. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery night is still Friday night for the Waco Brothers but these new songs lace that reckless exuberance with a more sober awareness of the tsunami of cynical corruption and materialism that infects our everyday existence. \"Best That Money Can Buy\" rips its verses from what's left of honest journalism while \"In The Dark\" provides a requiem for functioning democracy and boasts the best twin-lead guitar solo since Thin Lizzy. The album ends with \"Nowhere To Run\" a deceptively gentle dance number (inspired by a night on the Outlaw Country Cruise where the Wacos backed up their hero Lee \"Scratch\" Perry) that presents the struggle for social and economic justice as neverending. \"George Walks With Jesus\" is a song about George Jones walking with Jesus.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Men That God Forgot \u003c\/i\u003eis the 10th Waco Brothers full length album and was recorded with Mike Hagler at Kingsize Soundlabs in Chicago in 2022. The cinematic brass parts were arranged and performed by longtime collaborator Max Crawford with Dave Smith. Other Waco Cousins appearing are Barkley Mckay on piano and organ, Patty Vega on jingling tambourine and Andre Michot of the Lost Bayou Ramblers on accordion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plenty Tuff","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50477746159947,"sku":"2013777","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50477746684235,"sku":"2013778","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image005_a06f7c6d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727477588","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/the-men-that-god-forgot","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
