Still Dreamin Wild: Lost Recordings 1979-81

Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 release, a collection of previously unreleased studio demos recorded by the Washington-based duo. In a relatively short span of time, the boys put close to 70 songs down on tape, all recorded at the magical home studio on the family farm. A dozen of them are included here on Still Dreamin' Wild: The Lost Recordings 1979-81 and ready to be enjoyed for the first time ever. With a familiar blend of FM rock, power pop, and new wave, these 12 tracks cover the entirety of that fruitful period, stretching from the second song Donnie ever recorded to tracks documenting his temporary move to L.A. in 1981. Donnie's life story is in these songs. Where Dreamin' Wild captures the teenage experience, Still Dreamin' Wild tells a broader story, one in which teenage dreams turn to painful yearning. All this time later, we finally have the pleasure of hearing the brothers' music.
