Biografia:
A Skeletons nunca ganhou amplo reconhecimento, mas teve um pequeno grupo de admiradores dedicados que fez dessa modesta banda de rock tradicional uma das mais populares dos anos 80 (final) e 90.
Baseada em Springfield, Missouri, EUA, a Skeletons foi formada em 1979 para realizar uma turnê montada por Steve Forbert (nota minha: cantor e compositor folk americano). Encerrada a turnê, seus integrantes decidiram ficar juntos, gravando e lançando discos, quando não estavam excursionando, quer com sua identidade inerente, quer como grupo de apoio de outros artistas. Em 1987, o grupo lançou seu primeiro álbum americano, "Rockin' Bones". Ao longo dos 10 anos seguintes, a banda permaneceu ocupada alugando seus serviços para artistas como Syd Straw e Dave Alvin, tendo lançado apenas mais três álbuns – "In The Flesh!" (1988), "Waiting" (1992) e "Nothin To Lose" (1997) (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
