Bareback Ride is the second album by the American alternative rock band Walt Mink, released in 1993. [2] [5] Sales and acclaim for the album fell short of the band's first album, Miss Happiness , which was released the previous year.
Bareback Ride was the last album with the original band lineup of John Kimbrough, Candice Belanoff and Joey Waronker. [6]
Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Astonishingly derivative of ’60s Brit-pop (the Kinks at their most cloying) and ’70s prog-rock (don’t ask), Walt Mink can’t be serious, and that’s the trio’s appeal." [4] The Washington Post wrote that "these 10 songs are pithy -- there's not a 10-minute drum solo to be found -- and [John] Kimbrough's wispy voice recalls the feyness of neo-psychedelic pop bands like the Three O'Clock." [1] Billboard praised the band's "keen sense of melody and dynamic instrumental punch." [7] Trouser Press thought that "Kimbrough weaves a simple, busy web of guitar, roaring just as loudly but concentrating his efforts into metallic vignettes rather than functionally stable textures." [6]
All songs written by John Kimbrough.
