The Silos is an album by the American band the Silos, released in 1990.[1] A commercial disappointment, it was the band's only album for RCA Records.[2][3] The Silos peaked at No. 141 on the Billboard 200.[4] The band supported the album with a North American tour that included shows with the Jayhawks.[5][6]
Produced by Peter Moore, Bob Rupe, and Walter Salas-Humara, the album was recorded in the fall of 1989 at Gainesville's Great Southern Music Hall, an old theater.[7][8] The band used a single microphone for most of the recording sessions.[9] Rupe played most of the lead guitar parts and Salas-Humara wrote or cowrote most of the songs; they considered each song a discrete thing, rather than worrying about a uniform style.[10][11] Kenny Margolis played keyboards on the album.[12] Amy Allison provided backing vocals on "The Only Story I Tell".[7] "Maybe Everything" employs a horn section.[13] "I'm Over You" is about ending a relationship by leaving town on a road trip.[14]
