Bring Your Own Stereo by Jimmie's Chicken Shack

Bring Your Own Stereo, released in 1999, was the second and last major-label album from Annapolis, Maryland's Jimmie's Chicken Shack, made for Elton John's Rocket Records, which had signed them in 1996 and put out Pushing the Salmanilla Envelope before it.

It's scrappy, hooky alternative rock with a grin on its face, loose enough to sound like a bar band and punchy enough for the radio. "Do Right" became one of the two songs they are best known for, climbing to number 12 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks, and "Trash" made the countdowns too. The album itself stalled at number 153 on the Billboard 200. Years of squabbling with the label followed before the band got out of their contract and went on alone with re.present.
