Two-Fisted Tales is the third studio album by American band the Long Ryders, released in 1987 by Island Records.[1] It was their last studio album for 32 years until 2019's Psychedelic Country Soul.[2] The album yielded two singles, a cover of NRBQ’s "I Want You Bad" and "Gunslinger Man".[3] On Two-Fisted Tales, the Long Ryders moved further away from their country rock origins towards a more college rock direction.[4][5]
