Search - The Krayolas :: Best Riffs Only

Best Riffs Only is the acclaimed 16-song compilation from the pioneering teenage '70s Chicano powerpop garage band The Krayolas. Hailed as Tex-Mex Beatles, just as the Sir Douglas Quintet had been a decade earlier, The Krayolas sound is direct-to-the-brain - joyous, young, raw, energetic, upbeat, charming, campy and fun. Always melodic, the Krayolas easy-to-hum sound puts a smile on your face. It's timeless. Best Riffs Only features long-unavailable, out-of-print indie vinyl 45 r.p.m.singles and rare album tracks for the first time. Some of it dates back more than 30 years, most of it is a quarter century old. The album title comes from a bit of advice that Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds gave the band when they played together at the historic Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa in the late '70s: play your 'best riffs only'. A collectible must-have rarities CD whose essence is irresistible. The Krayolas are timeless.
