The group had been working on a project titled Buckaroo Blues at the time, inspired by a collection of cowboy poems the band had acquired. They had decided to make the project a live performances, and had tested in front of audiences twice at that point. But the group felt that the piece lacked a strong opening. They tried out the Hank Willaims song Jambalaya at their Tele-5 performance, but were likely disappointed with the results. And so, From The Plains to Mexico was written and recorded. The version released on this single is a particularity early take on the song, featuring a slightly different arrangement from that performed in the Cube-E live tour.The lyrics to the song were direclty inspired by 'Cowboy's Home Sweet Home', a traditional ballad of unknown origin, first recorded by Jimmie Davis in 1938.Meanwhile, The Cryptic Corporation had just authorized a collection of Residents lyrics translated into Italian, published by Stampa Alternativa. As had become something of a tradition with their published works, The Residents decided to include a single sided 7" single with the book. And so, they dug into the archives to find their early studio recording of Plains To Mexico. The single was released in August of 1989, anticipating the group's upcoming live performance in Italy as part of the Cube-E tour.Although the single has never been repressed, its only track has been re-released on a number of compilations.
