The Textones’ debut album, Midnight Mission, encompassed everything they’d done, and took it a step further. Produced by Barry Goldberg and Brad Gilderman, and featuring contributions from Gene Clark and Ry Cooder, Midnight Mission was a mix of rock, blues and country that captured the band’s live energy. After Olson appeared in Bob Dylan’s “Sweetheart Like You” video, he offered up an unreleased track, “Clean Cut Kid,” which blended perfectly with the band’s originals. This reissue features 5 bonus tracks - 3 songs recorded for the film Sylvester, as well as a 2 previously unissued live cuts from their 1984 performance on Rock Of The ‘80s.
