Background notes
Archive material and source history
Lost Pines formed in Austin in 1990 around songwriter Ian McLagan, who had previously played with the Faces. They worked with Maggie Roche and Suzzy Roche of the Roches, making music that mixed alt-country and rock without fitting neatly into either category.
In 1994, the band released the album "The Wilderness Nearby," which included the song "The Rope." That track got some play on alt-country radio and helped them find an audience. McLagan's lyrics had a direct, unvarnished quality that connected with listeners.
Their sound was raw and didn't smooth out its edges, which some critics found too rough.
