Susan Across the Ocean

The album was produced by frontman Walter Salas-Humara and David McNair. The band's guitar player, Manuel Verzosa, was killed in a car accident shortly after the recording sessions; the album is dedicated to him. "I'm Straight" is a cover of the Jonathan Richman song. "Let's Take Some Drugs and Drive Around" was written by Michael Hall. "Change the Locks" is a cover of the Lucinda Williams song; the Silos version inspired Tom Petty to record it. "Wanna Ride" is a cover of a song by Pork, a Texas band. The title track is about an older man wondering if he made a mistake by not marrying a girlfriend from his younger years. ==Critical reception==

The Philadelphia Daily News noted that the Silos are "at times reminiscent of the Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground and Little Feat". The Indianapolis Star stated, "The essence of rock 'n' roll can be found in these 12 tracks... The music drives and builds; it's playful and raw." The Calgary Herald opined, "Like the Mekons ... the Silos simply strap on their guitars, set up the drums, add a little mood-enhancing viola and then do what is not simple—come up with songs that are humorous, haunting, playful, remorseful, hopeful, that meander moodily, that rock, that echo with the spirit of old-time country". ==Track listing==
