Lawn Boy was Phish's fourth album, hitting stores on September 21, 1990. It was originally released on the Absolute A Go Go Records label. It was later rereleased by Elektra Records on June 30, 1992. It contains many of the progressive rock and fusion elements of their previous album Junta, as well as Bluegrass, jazz, and barbershop quartet.
The album was certified gold by the RIAA on July 7th, 2004.
The music for "Bathtub Gin" was written by Phish frontman Trey Anastasio and lyrics by the band's friend Suzannah Goodman. The lyrics are reprinted "by permission of Bret and Wendy" according to the liner notes and the album version quotes George Gershwin's classical-jazz standard "Rhapsody in Blue". As with many Phish songs, the album version is a simple affair compared with the twists and turns of improvisation inserted in concert versions. [1]
