Border Drive-In Theatre

Border Drive-In Theatre is the second album by the Boston-based band the Raindogs, released in 1991. It was the band's final album, in part due to label troubles.

Production
Named after a deserted Canadian drive-in, the album was recorded in Los Angeles in early 1991. It was produced by Don Gehman. Harry Dean Stanton and Iggy Pop contributed to the album. "Let's Work Together" is a cover of the Wilbert Harrison song. ==Critical reception==
Critical reception
The Chicago Tribune wrote that the band "has risked throwing syncopated, almost-house beats into its rootsy attack... The experiment works beautifully, creating nifty textures that bubble underneath and shimmer on top so invitingly that you're tempted to overlook the almost complete lack of melodies." The Boston Herald concluded that "Johnny Cunningham's fiddle still provides the band's signature touch, but it's a far less forceful element than the hard-slamming drum sound." == Track listing ==
