"JOHN WESLEY COLEMAN III plays guitar and sings in Golden Boys, a much-loved Austin band whose 'Whiskey Flowers' set a standard for a certain kind of loosely strung, wildly played, country-and-Southern-soul influenced garage rock. Put them on next to the Oblivians, Reigning Sound or sometime tour partners Strange Boys, and Golden Boys’ sound made perfect sense, an amalgamation of Stax and the Stooges, Chess Records, Charlie Feathers and the Ramones. Coleman’s second solo album on Goner Records doesn’t fall too far from the tree, his high, wavery vocals linking his songs to country and rockabilly, a barrage of fuzz-blistered guitars and wheezy organ tying him back to Nuggets-era garage."
