The Nightingales’ In The Good Old Country Way—their last original album for two decades and a postpunk gem predating the C86 era—returns to vinyl after 30+ years with added rare tracks and 1985 singles. Anti-Thatcher and filled with wit, the album blends rootsy hoedown vibes, sharp observations, and energetic rants. Maria Smith’s violin and multi-instrumentalist Pete Byrchmore complement Robert Lloyd’s vision, while standout singles “It’s A Cracker” and the What A Carry On EP showcase the band’s evolving sound.
