Or rather J. C. (Johnny Cash NOT Jesus Christ) tinged country. I'll bet you Johnny will feel ripped off! I'm gonna email him. BTW speaking of the other J. C. I'm sure I speak for everyone here in the U.S. when I say that we hear far to little music by christian country artists. In fact I'd like to change the format of this radio station to all christian country music. After all this station receives most of its support from federal grants which essentially obligates it to change. Who's with me on this one?Wrong bus, wrong stop.
Boy, this is the night of sucko-barfo.

Fantastic to hear this after so long. WTs were very inventive and had great energy in their songs. Loved them.

I used to listen to this album a lot 20 + years ago. Not the track I would choose from the record. This one really sounds dated to me.

Psychobilly still lives! 
This is more fun than a barrelful of monkeys. 8 from the foot-tappin' Nottingham jury.

The lyrics to this song are really deep. 
It must be at least 10 years since I've heard this song. I used to love the woodentops, but have lost trac of tem in the past decade. Thanks for bringing them back to my attention RP.

Sounds good till they hit the 'love love train" chorus :-k
I agree as well, the chorus was, kinda, cheesy
woodentops were unbelievable live. theres a lot of free live downloads live and a kind of radio player they have. badapplesmusic.com. give it time is live on that . much better.
always seemed like they were harder live. brilliant drummer.
website says they are likely playing again.
hypnobeat live is hot. some of the live gear on their site beats it tho imho.
I saw them support the smiths once. all the kids had thrown the daffodils at woodentops before smaiths came on.
This song is annoying. Please play "Give It Time" which is a much better song by the Woodentops.

Good Move, Kelli! Your refined taste in music is apparent!
wow! long time ago!!!
you should listen to the "hypnobeat live" cd! especially "love train" is played very very fast...great band
thanks bill:-)
I agree with one of the other listeners. They DO remind me of The Violent Femmes.
Poor.
Not sucko-barfo.
But poor.
Hey! Originally relaesed om my birthday! No wonder I gave it a ten.

I was thinking the same thing! Until then they sounded a lot like BR5-49.

Haven't heard this tune in 20 years. Glad somebody uploaded it. I had a cassette of this back in the 80s and the whole album was good.
Thanks to whomever contributed this. Upload some more!
Woodentops were an energetic and fun band. Contrast this with the Smiths, who were contemporary with this, and who were usually fairly downbeat, and this comes up sounding pretty good.

Not to be confused with the Love Train of the 70's, the Peace Train (from that terrorist Cat Stevens), the A Train, The F Train, Sooooooul Train, The Band Train, Blackfoots? Train/Train (wicked harmonica)...seems like train keeps a rollin' all night long.
