Tav Falco / Panther Burns - The World We Knew

Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition of the third tudio album by maverick American artist Tav Falco and his "wreckabilly" combo Panther Burns. The World We Knew was originally released in 1987. Stand out tracks include "She's a Bad Motorcycle", "Ditch Digging" and Tav original "She's a Rebel Girl" from the bonus Shake Rag EP. Disc 2 offers a previously unreleased live recording from the Babylon Club in Bordeaux from April 1987. Tav Falco & Panther Burns have been cited as an influence by everyone from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion to the Fall, Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized. "Renegade Tav Falco explores a highly personal vision of rock n' roll," enthused Edwin Pouncey in the Wire in November 2014. "Possessed by a wide range of influences that range from country and blues, novelty numbers and punk rock, to La Monte Young styled drone. But Falco has earned the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with the musicians and artists he so fervently admires."
