Probably my favorite song on the thing is 18 Wheels of Beer. It's one of those chugging, blue-collar, workin' man songs about driving a beer truck for a living. Heh. I bet this song is one of their set closers, or encore numbers. Whatever, it's one of those must-have sing-along songs that every true Texas honky-tonker loves. (Big Secret: they've got a hidden track on here that's a feedback-drenched surfpunkabilly version of 18 Wheels that sounds like they played it while the Devil himself was poking them in the ass with his pitchfork.) Probably my second favorite is All This Catching Up, which is really a warning about re-hashing and reminiscing with your pards while the little lady is in earshot. And of course Longest Song is great, too - another road song with gratuitous tobacco chewing & spitting.

Over all, I highly recommend F.Co. They're young, they're talented, they're close to their roots. I can't wait to see 'em live...I'm so dieing to do the Skinny Wirskye Hayseed Dance to 18 Wheels of Beer. I give The King of Texas, and F.Co four Shiners out of five. The Fat Guy says check 'em out when they come to your town.
