By 1988, rock & roll belonged to several generations.

Nonetheless, the appearance of a father/son roots-rock duo still raised more than a few eyebrows.

Milwaukee's Tom and Ian Spanic resemble each other physically and musically.

Their similar voices twine into that sort of extra-close harmony that can only come from family members singing together.

EARLY SPANIC BOYS, a repackaged version of the duo's first self-released album, shows influences spanning from Buddy Holly and the Bobby Fuller Four to Marshall Crenshaw.

There's even a dash of the Replacements on the manic opener "Long Gone Daddy." It's easy to see how this album got the pair a three-album contract with Rounder Records, as it is chock-full of country-tinged jangle-pop gems such as "Spark of Love," "She's An Angel," and the Ricky Nelson-like "Lonely Man." EARLY SPANIC BOYS is a welcome reissue of a undeservingly overlooked album.
