About The Record:

The album title, Rock of the Westies, is a comedic play on words devised by John. He turned the phrase "West of the Rockies" into Rock of the Westies. Like Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Rock of the Westies also debuted on the US Billboard 200 chart at #1, the only two albums at that time to have done so. The album's single, Island Girl went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA
