A byword for turn-of-the-centurylo-fi, All Hail WestTexas holds legendary statusamong the dedicated fanbaseof John Darnielle, aka TheMountain Goats. Recordedonto cassette usinga Panasonic boombox andwithout any overdubs, the LPretains a raw, DIY edge evenin its remastered form.

Just off Texas State Highway 21, a route followed by migrating buffalo centuries ago, sits the town of Dime Box. When author William Least Heat-Moon visited during a cross-country expedition-later chronicled in his landmark travel-writing tome Blue Highways-Dime Box was a town where the cafes had screen doors and the sidewalks were constructed of wood planks. Small children gathered in the barber shop to stare at a large mounted bass outfitted with steer horns...

Mythos bathes North Carolina songwriter John Darnielle. It's not him. He's always maintained his everyman persona. Mountain Goats loyalists, on the other hand, are forever tracking their favorite band in periods and movements. 2002's

All Hail West Texas may be the quintessential Mountain Goats album. An expanded reissue of a 2002 release, it was the last in their classic lo-fi style, featuring just head Goat John Darnielle making one-take recordings onto a broken boombox. The chief virtue is the immediacy that courses through tracks like "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" and "Fall of the Star High School Running Back"...

John Darnielle's original liner notes to 2002's All Hail West Texas -- the last of the lo-fi, boombox-recorded Mountain Goats albums - might say more interesting things about it than almost every reviewer of it probably did or will (including me). He spelled out that the album was in tribute to home-recording misfits...

It's fitting that on the heels of the announcement of Cassette Store Day we see the release of a remastered version of All Hail West Texas, an album that utilized cassette home recording for the final time (so far) in John Darnielle's career as The Mountain Goats. Of course, by the time the album came out in 2002, cassette listening had already had already joined CompuServe as a rapidly fading memory, and we were happy to replace tapes with CDs, which allowed skipping to specific songs with...

All Hail West Texas is a lonely album, a product of idle time and summer boredom recorded alone, quickly, in an empty house. John Darnielle wrote most of the lyrics in the margins of the stapled, mimeographed handouts given to him in the orientation sessions at his new health-care job in Ames, Iowa. It was 1999...

Don't let the "concept" fool you, because when John Darnielle says the album loosely revolves around a struggling outcasts from Washington, that doesn't explain how we get to Frankie Lymon's final recording sessions in "Harlem Roulette," or the disarmingly lucid schizophrenic hunting down "Counterfeit Florida Plates" from the grates he sleeps on, certainly not the Scarface rejoinder "Diaz Brothers" and frankly I bet lots of non-Seattle apartment complexes are called "Lakeside View...
