Released by EMI America, the album is regarded as the band's best.[1][7]

Reception

AllMusic's Mark Deming called Lost & Found "the best record this fine band would ever make."[1] No Depression also viewed it as the band's best.[8] Billboard called it "ragged but righteous."[9] Trouser Press wrote that "more than just a pedigree to brag about, the band’s genuine hick beginnings make them a lot less inhibited and more apt to cross from cool to corny, punk to heavy metal without fretting much about it."[4]

The band made a music video for "White Lies," which got regular airplay on MTV in the 1980s.[10]
