It's one of the first (and only since) records to pay tribute to rootsy Americana (country, folk, rock) without sounding totally derivative of rootsy Americana. It's a brilliant, beautiful and often overlooked album. Crazy Rhythms was a new wave masterpiece and one of a kind. The fact that they did something completely different with equal success on their follow up speaks volumes about the Feelies.
