Treat Her Right – Tied To The Tracks
Label: RCA – 9596-1-R
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album
Country: US
Released: 1989
Genre: Rock
Style: Blues Rock, Indie Rock
Treat Her Right was a blues rock group formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1984. The band featured Mark Sandman on guitar, Billy Conway on drums, Dave Champagne on guitar, and Jim Fitting on harmonica. Singing and songwriting duties were shared by all but Conway.
In addition to being the forerunner to the popular indie rock band Morphine, Treat Her Right is often credited with helping to spawn the punk-blues hybrid (sometimes dubbed cowpunk, among other titles) that achieved prominence in the early 2000s.
Sandman and Conway went on to form the nucleus of Morphine. Although more blues-based than Morphine, Treat Her Right sowed the seeds of Sandman's later sound with its unusual instrumentation (Sandman's guitar with Treat Her Right was a three string custom model, making it sound more like a bass guitar) and slightly dark focus, most evident on the Sandman-penned songs.
Sandman died tragically of a heart attack while onstage with Morphine in Italy in 1999.
