| Haymaker - Irrevocable Records, circa 2001. Arguably the strongest collection of songwriting and talent that Stanley has yet to put together. Full of energy and emotion and simply great musicianship, Haymaker has the impact of a raking overhand bomb. Dick Dale himself leads the charge in the Minuteman track, with John Jorgenson sounding the call to arms during the intro. A tribute to Mando Ramos, a song about Mama, and a peek at the demons we all harbor are included in the songcraft. |
| Vale of Tears, Rococo Records, circa 1994. Vale of Tears boasts a guestbook including Dave Alvin, John Jorgenson, Chris Gaffney and Danny Ott. With it's own type of intensity, Vale of Tears blends country thinking, trailer-park despair, honky-tonk shit-kicking, and avante-garde orchestra and reed-playing. It goes everywhere with a purpose and makes no apologies. Currently out of print. |
| L.A. River, Rococo Records, circa 1991. Critically acclaimed as "...refreshingly twisted" (Billboard), and "...superbly melodic" (CASHBOX), L.A. River provides a survey of SoCal as seen through the eyes of Stanley Wycoff. Tracks such as L.A. Pool Man, Orange County Line, Street Scene, Too Cute To Care and the notorius Axe Murders bring the vibe of SoCal alive. Guest artist Nicky Hopkins (r.i.p.), provides world-class keyboards and arrangements throughout. Currently out of print. |
