In the hands of the wily Webb Wilder and the Nashvegans, you can expect superb and eclectic taste in covers, with spunky, entertaining delivery. Town & Country offers 16 quick flashes ranging from the Flamin' Groovies classic "Slow Death" and The Music Machine's "Talk Talk" (the "Town") to Waylon Jennings's "Nashville Bum" and Rodney Crowell's "Ain't Living Long Like This" (the "Country"). On the way, there are plenty of pitstops for obscure rockabilly and R&B (Lazy Lester, Jerry "Boogie" McCain) and various phases of British Invasion (Small Faces, Mott the Hoople).
