Add It Up 1981-1993

Features of Add It Up 1981-1993

Amazon.comAside from the Milwaukee trio's 1981 debut, the Violent Femmes have made a career of tacking one or two great songs onto otherwise mediocre albums--so this 1993 best-of is perfect for consumers. It has all the good stuff, from the retro radio hour staples Blister in the Sun and Gone Daddy Gone, plus the creepy murder-suicide story Country Death Song, the should've-been-a-hit American Music and ephemera like live versions of Add It Up and Kiss Off. With Gordon Gano's never-aging teen whine and a crack rhythm section, the Femmes have had brief moments as America's best rock & roll band. This collection captures some of them. --Steve KnopperProduct DescriptionADD IT UP: 1981-1993 contains The Violent Femmes greatest hits, live material, previously unreleased recordings, b-sides, demos and answering machine messages.
