Album Notes
Gin Blossoms: Robin Wilson (vocals); Jesse Valenzuela (guitar, mandolin, background vocals); Scott Johnson (guitar, background vocals); Bill Leen (bass); Phillip Rhodes (drums).Additional personnel: Doug Hopkins (guitar); Robbie Turner (pedal steel guitar); C.J. Chenier (accordion); Robert Becker (piano).Recorded at Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tennesee.This deluxe edition includes the complete album on disc one along with a second disc featuring various EP tracks, live versions, and outtakes not included on the original release.Gin Blossoms: Robin Wilson (vocals, acoustic guitar); Jesse Valenzuela (acoustic & electric guitars, mandolin, background vocals); Doug Hopkins, Scott Johnson (guitar); Bill Leen (bass); Phillip Rhodes (drums, percussion).Additional personnel: Robbie Turner (pedal steel); C.J. Chenler (accordion);Robert Becker (piano).Producers: Gin Blossoms, John Hampton.Compilation producers: Mike Ragogna, Rich Hopkins.All tracks have been digitally remastered.Personnel: Jesse Valenzuela (vocals, guitar, mandolin); Robin Wilson (vocals, acoustic guitar); Doug Hopkins (guitar); Robby Turner (steel guitar); C.J. Chenier (accordion); Robert Becker (piano); Phillip Rhodes (drums, percussion).Audio Mixer: John Hampton.Recording information: AB Recorders, Phoenix, AZ (05/1989-10/1993); Ardent Studios, Memphis, TN (05/1989-10/1993).Photographers: Jay Blakesberg; Robin Wilson.Unknown Contributor Role: Scott A. Johnson .This album stands as a sad memorial to Doug Hopkins' ability to craft winning songs out of the abject misery of his own life. Hopkins had been thrown out of the band he formed before NEW MISERABLE EXPERIENCE was released, and by the time "Hey Jealousy" and "Found About You", two of his most engaging and self-deprecatory songs, had broken the band in America, he had taken his own life in a fit of depression. The album is not entirely about Hopkins (Jesse Valenzuela's "Mrs Rita" and Robin Wilson's "Allison Road" are also strong contenders), but it is his songs that remain longest in the memory.

Great Album - from a long-time fan
Created: 09/12/08
Disclaimer - I am a little stuck in the 80s and saw this band many times before the release of this album so my review of this album may be a little biased.
As an ASU student in 1988/89, I saw the Gin Blossoms live several times at a dumpy little dirt floor dive called the Sun Club not far from ASU in Tempe, Arizona. This music often discribed as rock-a-billy is definately a late 80s early 90s sound, and instantly takes me back to those times. Doug Hopkins, the lead guitar player and author of most of the good songs would often play his guitar using his beer bottle to change cords. It was amazing to see - as the beer would eventually foam over and spill all over the stage while they continued to play and drink along with the audience. The Sun Club with its dirt floor did not seem to mind because it always had a beer/clove/cigarette/dirt kind of smell anyway. They always finished each set with the coolest version of the Jefferson's theme "Movin on Up to the East Side" I ever heard. My only disappointment with this first album is that it did not contain their version of this song. Maybe they tried and it didn't work or maybe is something that only sounds great at 1AM after a long night of dancing and too much to drink.
I don't know about nationwide, but "Hey Jealousy", "Mrs. Rita", "Until I fall Away", "Allison Road" and "Found Out about You" all recieved quite a lot of radio airplay in Phoenix throughout the 90's. Overall, a nice album to own.

) The Gin Blossoms day veiw album-New Miserable Experience- was one of the great albums of the 90's with songs like "Hey Jealousy", "Found Out About You", and "Until I Fall Away". The CD definatly brings me back to fun times.
The Best
Created: 07/05/09
) Just an awesome look back at the music scene in this period of time. Doug Hopkins deserved a little better, as his songwriting was basically what made the band what they were in the first place. He was kicked out, had to suffer listening to the songs he wrote ride the top of the charts, and if I was him in the same situation, probably would have committed suicide as well. The Gin Blossoms carried on, and even with out Doug, they made it clear that they could have come out w/ a decent record every few years.
Major Lodge Victory, their latest, is full of the stuff that made Gin Blossoms what they are capable of. Excellent songs thru out. However Robin Wilsons vocals are thin, a ghost of his "hey Jelousy" days and it sounds a bit sad to listen to.
But they will forever be one of my favorite bands.

New Miserable Experience - Gin Blossoms (CD 1992)

Gin Blossoms are one of my favorite bands and I am a big fan of Alternative Rock music from the late 1980s and 1990s. I like their song "Found out about you".
