The Good Earth is the second album by the alternative rock band Feelies. It was released in 1986 on Coyote Records, six years after their debut album Crazy Rhythms. Trouser Press said it was "worth the wait."[6]
The original LP was contained in a sleeve designed by Glenn Mercer, featuring a front cover photo of the band by bassist Brenda Sauter and a back cover photo by John Baumgartner with coloring by Sauter.
The 2009 digital version included covers of Neil Young's "Sedan Delivery" and The Beatles "She Said, She Said."[1]
