Studio recordings @320

{Out of Print}

This is the last Tail Gators album to feature the original lineup with Keith Ferguson on bass. The title track was written about Keith coming off the road and that's exactly what he did after this album was finished. With the exception of a release or two by local Austin bands he played with between leaving The Tail Gators and his early demise "Hide Your Eyes" is his last record.

The album lacks the concise punch of peak Tail Gators such as "Mumbo Jumbo" and "OK Let's Go". Despite the cracks beginning to show it's still a good time Rock 'n' Roll album as only Don Leady & company can do. The opening track rocks the hardest and should have been a radio single. "Rockin' in the 1990's" sounds dated to say the least but even the Stones "Exile on Main Street" had one or two songs that didn't add much.

Even at a difficult point in their career (the road taking its toll, the departure of Ferguson) The Tail Gators manage to crank out a decent album of no-frills, good time Rock 'n' Roll and "Hide Your Eyes" makes a mighty fine addition to the collection of any Rock 'n' Roll fan.
