President Yo La Tengo

President Yo La Tengo is the band's third album, a short one released in 1989.  It opens with the gnarly strums of Barnaby, Hardly Working and Drug Test.  After surf-rock instrumental The Evil That Men Do, there are two shouty live recordings which have little to recommend themselves.  What remains is the pleasant strum Alyda, featuring Georgia Hubley aah-ing sweetly in the background, and a reverent version of Bob Dylan's I Threw It All Away.  One for the curious, nothing more.
