 Medicine Show combines Velvet Underground and Neil Young and, as the previous The Days of Wine and Roses did more crudely, reinterprets the country and blues roots of American tradition through the lens of new wave and punk.

 The masterpiece of the Dream Syndicate. A milestone of Rock. One of those albums capable of defining a genre and pointing the direction for future development.
