Mercurial
Covers from 1898 to 1982, recorded live to two-track tape. No
overdubs, no tricks, just real music played by one of the best line-ups in Spankers’ history.
“At their most audacious when they mix genres big-time, this nouveau jug band from Austin T-X outdoes itself.” —Robert Christgau, The Village Voice

Spanker Madness
A tour-de-force exposition of the thrills of earthly vices, as
only the Spankers can present them.
“Explores the wide significance in our culture of drugs and their use – from the celebration of beer to a scathing critique of
America’s war on drugs. As for the music, it careens and swings like a drunken sailor. This could be their musically most addictive recording to date.” —Dirty Linen

Spanks for the Memories
This is the one that
started it all!
Recorded to one microphone in an old pink house in East Austin, this debut album features the classic line-up that took the city by storm: Christina, Wammo, Guy, Stanley, Pops, John, Kevin, Jimmie Dean, Oliver and Josh.
“Consistently challenging in its influences.
Nothing officially ‘unplugged’ has ever sounded this much fun.” —The Austin Chronicle

My Favorite Record
Declaring that the best
music is funny, joyful, moving and adventurous, the world’s greatest all-acoustic band loaded the album with musical and lyrical references to their favorite records. A beautifully produced studio album containing many of the Spankers’ most enduring songs.
“Armed with the best brace of originals in their career, Austin’s acoustic iconoclasts make a record that moves them far
beyond anything so restrictive as ‘genre’.” —Michael Toland, Texas Music Magazine

Hot Lunch
This 1999 classic is back in print after
years of unavailability! A beautiful, rocking, and rollicking unplugged beer-and-pot party populated with the most unpretentious, heartbreaking characters you’re ever likely to meet.
“Cross Django Reinhardt with Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks and you might come up with the
oddly effective mix of jazz and vaudeville that the Asylum Street Spankers purvey…” —Detroit Metro Times
