专辑介绍

by Chris Nickson

The Austin Lounge Lizards have their shtick, and what they do, they do very well. Literate, funny country songs that tread a line between country and bluegrass, well played, and tightly written. There's plenty of social commentary, such as &You Can Eat Dog Food,& about the plight of the elderly, and &Jesse + Phil,& where Jesse Helms and Phil Gramm come out as a gay couple. But there are also some just-plain-funny songs, like the couple-drinking-and-fighting parody of &We Always Fight When We Drink Gin,& where guest singer Kelly Willis does a near-perfect Loretta Lynn. Some are plain daft, such as &The Lonely Yodeler,& while the a cappella &Why Couldn't We Blow Up Saddam?& is a unalloyed joy. &When I'm Cleanin' Windows,& an old George Formby music hall song, gets revived as down-home bluegrass -- but with an English accent. Whatever way you look at it (even if you include the ridiculous &Banana Slugs!&), the Austin Lounge Lizards bring a smile.
