Smokin' Armadillos is the self-titled album of the American country music band Smokin' Armadillos. It was released in 1996 via MCG/Curb Records.
The album includes the singles "Let Your Heart Lead Your Mind" and "Thump Factor", which both entered the Hot Country Songs charts in 1996. [1] "My Girlfriend Might" and "I'm a Cowboy" were previously included on the band's 1993 EP Out of the Burrow.
Dan Kuchar of Country Standard Time gave a mixed review, saying that the band's "publicists seem to want to portray them as a country-fied New Kids on the Block". He praised the variety of stylistic influences and musicianship, but thought that the band had "yet to establish a sonic trademark for themselves". [2] Jack Leaver of Allmusic rated it 3 stars out of 5, saying that the band "plays with an unbridled enthusiasm that serves the material well." [3]
