These guys were part of a wave of independent singer /songwriters . They gave country music a much needed pick me up . The mid to late'80's were a magical time for country music. People were tired of the Urban Cowboy schmaltz . So Nashville got the memo via declining record sales . 1986 saw Dwight Yoakham,Lyle Lovett,Randy Travis and Steve Earle all release their debut albums . Foster and Lloyd's debut came out in 1987. The music was real and new traditionalists ruled the charts til the mid'90's
F&L were the best. Them and The O'Kanes ruled the late 80s singer songwriter duo's.
Man that was a great album

Imagine this video with John C. Reilly as Lloyd and Jason Statham on the steel. You'll never unsee it.

I saw them open for Roy Orbison at the Oakdale in Wallingford CT in the 1980's. I liked them as soon as I heard them.
