2 Nice Girls, the self-titled 1989 debut from Two Nice Girls, came out on Rough Trade and introduced an Austin, Texas band that proudly called its music dyke rock, with singer-songwriter Gretchen Phillips among its voices. The sound is country rock with a wicked sense of humor and a big heart.
The song that turned heads was "I Spent My Last $10 (On Birth Control & Beer)", which brought the group a taste of commercial success, but the sly masterstroke is "Sweet Jane (With Affection)", which stitches the Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" to Joan Armatrading's "Love and Affection" and makes the pair sound as if they were always meant to go steady. When the album was reissued in 2007, the Austin Chronicle gave it four stars. Like a Version came next.
