From Slipcue.com:
These beard-y, semi-longhairs from South Dakota were devotees of outlaws like Waylon and redneck libertarians like Charlie Daniels... A rock-solid working class twang band, they thank the folks at the Stauffer Chemical company (where doubtless they worked) as well as fans in Sioux City and Oakdale... They cover lots of attitude-heavy twang classics, like "Long Haired Country Boy" and "Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother," though oddly enough some of the best tracks are heartsongs, like their cover of Conway Twitty's "I've Never Been This Far Before." To be honest, the Classics weren't really a very skillful band, and their performances are kinda workmanlike and clunky, although they were clearly into it and their repertoire is kind of a hoot. At any rate, if you're not too picky about musicianship and stuff like that, this is one of those old '70s records that's a very honest snapshot of bar bands of the time -- it's the real deal, even if it ain't exactly Waylon & Willie. One minor mark against them for leaving the n-word in their cover of David Allan Coe's "If That Ain't Country," though maybe I'd have to give the point back to them for staying true to the source material.
