“Dirty Boots” by Sonic Youth

"Dirty Boots" comes from Goo, Sonic Youth's sixth album, from 1990, and it went out in April 1991 as the record's third and last single. Thurston Moore wrote the words, the music is credited to all four of them, Kim Gordon, Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley, and the band produced it with help from Nick Sansano, who recorded it, and Ron Saint Germain, who mixed. Don Fleming adds backing vocals.

The single came loaded with five live tracks from a show at Crawford Hall on the University of California, Irvine campus in November 1990, and that whole concert finally surfaced in 2019 as Live in Irvine 1990, part of the band's archive series.
