    All Music Guide Review

    Kempner expands his songwriter range, but it's the celebratory party-man anthems like "The Cool and the Crazy" that make this the group's best work. ~ John Floyd, All Music Guide

  • Based on a True Story Notes

    This 1988 album marked the first time in the band’s career that they went into the studio with a full team in place, Geraldo returning to the producer's chair, in a pedal-to-the-metal, show-me-what-you-got affair. This time the band had help from a few guest vocalists — Syd Straw, Mojo Nixon, Kim Shattuck (The Pandoras) and, yes, Pat Benatar. True to their guns, the band turned down a lucrative beer company sponsorship, preferring to remain a no-nonsense working man’s rock 'n' roll band at its peak. This album was released on CD, but due to a label shakeup not many copies found their way into stores. The album contains their biggest hit, "Judas Kiss," as well as "The Cool and the Crazy," "Crawl in Bed," "Cheyenne" and six others, plus, you guessed it, five previously unreleased bonus tracks. Kempner again wrote liner notes for the reissue.
