Live in Montana

This is the sound of a band playing for their lives in a room that probably smelled like stale beer and woodsmoke. Live in Montana captures the Meat Puppets at a fascinating crossroads in 1988, just as they were transcending their hardcore roots to become the architects of a strange, sun-baked psychedelia. The recording is raw and unvarnished, lacking the studio polish of their later major-label years, but it compensates with a feral energy that feels both dangerous and deeply playful. It is a document of a band that refuses to be pinned down, jumping from breakneck punk tempos to languid, country-inflected grooves without warning.
