Jimmie's Chicken Shack came out of Annapolis, Maryland, with a scruffy, good-time take on alternative rock that never sounded like it was trying too hard. "High", from the 1993 album Chicken Scratch, got things rolling, a loose-limbed slacker groove with a chorus built for yelling along after a few beers.
In 1996 they signed with Elton John's Rocket Records and made two major-label albums, Pushing the Salmanilla Envelope and 1999's Bring Your Own Stereo. Both caught some chart, radio and MTV traction, and "Do Right", a laid-back, sun-baked groove that also turned up on the Slow Change EP, became their best-known tune, with "Trash" riding shotgun.
The label years ended in squabbling, and once they were finally cut loose from the contract the band went its own way, releasing three more records independently: Re.Present, which carried "Falling Out" in 2004, then Fail on Cue and 2econds.
