Reviews:
''Boys and Girls in America'' is the third studio album by The Hold Steady, released on October 3, 2006 by Vagrant Records.
On August 18, 2006, first single "Chips Ahoy!" was released as a free download from music site Pitchfork Media. The second single, "Stuck Between Stations" began to appear on campus radio playlists in November 2006.
Backing vocals for the track "Chillout Tent" are provided by Soul Asylum's Dave Pirner and The Reputation's Elizabeth Elmore. Dana Kletter (ex-Blackgirls, Dear Enemy, and Hole's ''Live Through This'') contributed backing vocals to "Chips Ahoy!", "You Can Make Him Like You", and "First Night".
The album title is a line taken from the opening lines of the song "Stuck Between Stations" ("There are nights when I think Sal Paradise was right/Boys and Girls in America have such a sad time together"), which in turn refers to a quote from American novelist and poet Jack Kerouac's 1957 novel ''On the Road'' and its narrator, Sal Paradise. The title is repeated in the lyrics in the songs "Stuck Between Stations" and "First Night."
''Boys and Girls in America'' has sold 94,000 albums as of April 2010 . - Wikipedia
The Brooklyn by way of Minneapolis (meta-) bar band follows up a concept album about homeless Catholic druggies with this Kerou-wacky title, lifted from an On the Road quote that continues "...have such a sad time together."
