Hi GentleBender
First  records i pick up from storage boxes were 2 late eighties favorites: Giant Sand - Love Songs and Tv Personalities - Privilege

very cool re Howe Gelb and 80's Giant Sand - one of my favs over the past 30 years or so though only cd versions here (not a lot of Giant Sand vinyl makes it to Canada it seems).

I never heard of Giant Sand before today. Streaming "The Love Songs" from Spotify at work now. I like what I hear, Thanks!

early Giant Sand kind of Neil Young meets Grateful Dead.  Much more variety on most recent albums including opera, blues, tex/mex with a little hard core punk / cowpunk.  Great live shows.

I found some of their stuff on Amazon! Not bad, about $25-30 for (2011) reissue.
