Three albums, one EP/single
and three compilations.
ARE
YOU THROUGH YET? The live CD (released Nov. 7, 2000) is the
official relic of the amazing live shows. Entertainment
News & Views says, "Are You through Yet? successfully
captures all the inherent energy and excitement that the band came to be
known for in their live performances. Recorded over a two-night stand at
a local club in Johnson City, Tennessee, the group conveys a feel-good,
unbridled enthusiasm that plays well to an audience eager for a good time."
There ya go. 17 tracks of pure V-roys, including great covers of Neil Young's
Motion Pictures, The La's There She Goes, and the Replacements IOU make
this a gottahave for V-roys admirers.

The V-roys contributed
to three great compilations:
The EP/Single. The V-roys
recorded with Steve Earle while they were making "Just Add Ice". Besides the
Jimmie Rodgers' tune on the tribute album, they
recorded the Slickers' "Johnny Too Bad". This recording was mixed with contributions
from RNT and C.FAX to make the "Sunshine Mix", with just the V-roys for the
"Jamaican Hillbilly Mix" and put on a four song EP/single along with "Straight
Highway" by the V-roys and a new version of Earle's "Ellis Unit One".
The EP/single was released twice. Once in
the U.K. in July of 1996 and then in
the States in April of 1997.
