Discography

Below is a pretty comprehensive discography of Sid Griffin's work since he left The Long Ryders. For the most part this has been under the name The Coal Porters, though some tracks on compilations are listed as Sid Griffin only, or Sid Griffin & The Coal Porters. More recently, material has appeared under the name Western Electric, though the line-up is essentially the same as that of The Coal Porters. Even on some of his solo material, Sid has been joined by the full band line-up.

For track listing on albums, see the lyrics page.
