Good CD, but not for everyone

"This is not Brain Setzer Orchestra. It's not Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Those are the Good Sons of modern rockabilly. Hankenstein is the little brother that picked the wings off insects. I picked up my copy in a bargain bin, and have loved it since. It has an rockabilly/old school country feel to it but with a modern slasher film twist to it. Trust me, you'll be humming the chorus to Poor Lil Racoon for days to come: poor lil' raccoon, i think he's had it / now he's a nursery for ten thousand lil' maggots. It's catchier than it sounds. The only problem with it is that it is a niche CD, and you'll fid yourself taking it out to play for people rather than listening to it in your car. But hey, if you've read this far, go ahead and give it a while."

An odd cd

"when i was a dj i found this odd cd and listened to it and was both delighted and horrified but what i heard. it was rockabilly fit for a texas chainsaw massacre movie. but the record proved to have staying power with catchy and mournful songs. i went out and ordered the cd later i was impressed that much. it stayed in my cd player for a week."

This is a Tar Hut Records release, not Targa...

""More fun than a bullfrog in a blender" - Robotclaw



One of the best and truest "alternative" country records one will ever hear.
