[1983]An unknown synth country jam of the highest order. Synth and twang in a new wave country folk style with a classic FM rock lead break and probably a Wall Of Voodoo influence. Makes me wonder why nobody in the Hypnagogic scene ended up going down this path. This could have been the national anthem for hypnagogic country. Maybe there is a micro-genre that I just don't know about. Anyway this is one of the great musical discoveries for me in the last few years. *Virtually no info about the guy on the interwebs. This is the only video of Ron Robert's on youtube. He's not on Discogs or Rate Your Music but NTS has one sentence on him which tells me he self released this in 1983. I'm guessing he had an album called Elaine or single of which this was the b-side. Who knows? Then there's the unknown lady singing, who is she? It's kinda cool to be this mysterious in the oversaturated digital information age.
