I always forget how big the alt-country scene was here in the Triangle during my college years because I wasn't real into it, but Two Dollar Pistols were definitely one of the better offerings. The title track here is a cover of the classic Johnny Cash song, and a damn fine cover at that.  The B-side "When You Had Time for Me" is a fine example of the honky tonk that John Howie & co excelled at. 

(I'm not entirely sure about the label on this one, that's my best guess.  It might also be self-released.  Important information!)
