Best of the Worst 93-97
The final release by Memphis' Oblivians, The Best of the Worst: 93-97 is a collection of mostly previously released material recorded as alternate versions and live takes.The Oblivians like their rock & roll down and very dirty. The Best of the Worst's liner notes come courtesy of the inimitable Jeffrey Evans and chronicle the band's roots, formation, and a handful of antics that happened in between. Evans also reveals that before they were the Oblivians, the outfit was very briefly (for one show) known as P.P. & the Naildrivers ("P.P." being an abbreviation for Pontius Pilate) and later the Gentlemen of Leisure. The Oblivians'  are packed with raucous, bluesy garage rock that will have hips shaking for years to come.
