Timbuk 3
There's a downside from having a big hit on a debut album and that is everything else gets overshadowed. That's what seemed to have happened with Timbuk 3. Many people are familiar with their hit "My future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades" and that's it. The rest of their work remains in obscurity. I've always been amazed that every album didn't produce several hits, starting with this one. Every song is a winner. They are most known for engaging, clever lyrics. None of their albums are in print anymore.

I bought this CD twenty years ago when I heard the tune "Sample The Dog."
Again, thanks for taking the time to share the good vibe.

Thanks for the addition!
Yes, "Sample the Dog" is legendary.
Have you heard any of their solo work?
