Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
In 1985 a shambling, lovable British postpunk act called the Mekons returned from a lengthy hiatus (most thought they were long gone) to release Fear and Whiskey. Originally issued on the band's own label, Fear and Whiskey brazenly married drunken, anthemic punk rock ("Beaten and Broken"), a DIY ethos ("Garage D'Or"), existentialist humor (practically every song), and country & western music ("Lost Highway," "$1,000 Wedding"). It's one of those rock clichés to say that a record sounds as startling and fresh today as it did when it was released, but this record really sounds as astonishing and novel as ever. The Mekons have always been aces at reenergizing clichéd musical forms (except for their few stabs at reggae in the '80s), and this is likely the only "cowpunk" record you'll need. The retitled CD reissue adds selections from EPs released shortly after Fear and Whiskey; it is the first record to own by this ridiculously brilliant band. --Mike McGonigal

An instant classic in 1985 ansd sounding better with each passing year, Fear and Whiskey is improved in this CD reissue by the dynamite EPs which followed it. However, one imperfection: a ludicrous cut called "Mr. Confess" by a different edition of the band than that which appears on all the other cuts. And they dropped a killer of cover of Merle Haggard's "I Can't Hold Myself in Line" for that? Oh, well, call it an imperfect reissue of a perfect album. But buy it!!

fear and whiskey may be the best "rock" album ever made. i only say may be because they released the edge of the world, rock 'n roll and the curse of the mekons... they all challenge this. but fear and whiskey has an aura, a feeling... it gives a violently real vision of an emotion that is completely unexpressible with words alone. go get this. now. if you like bowie, U2, REM get this. or maybe you like the clash, germs and sleater-kinney. if you do, get this. If you like Hank Williams, ... Read More

The album Fear and Whiskey goes down easy. It rolls along etching melodies in your brain that seem like they were a part of you your whole life. The music is filled with melancholy, but is also invigorating like an old southern hymn. This album alone is plenty, but you also get two EP's of added material, which also contains great songs from the high point of the Mekons career. This CD is a treasure.

Robert Christgau in the early nineties wrote an aritcle in which he claimed that the Mekons were the greatest band in the world. Not greatest unknown band, just the best. I wouldn't go quite that far, but having seen them around 10 times (I live in their unofficial second hometown, Chicago, where leader Jon Langford now resides--Leeds, England is their official home) and owning nearly all their albums, I can attest that they are an unjustly neglected treasure. ORIGINAL SIN contains the entirety ... Read More

This album is so great that it should be in everyone's collection. From the opening line, "I was out late the other night, Fear and Whickey kept me going" to the Hank WIlliams and Gram Parsons covers, this album hits all the right notes. Jon Langford should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Mekons should have a string of Platinum records!
