"This CD is a nice mix of older music & new releases from Trout Fishing in America. My favorite cuts are The Last Day of Pompeii, Baby's Got the Car Keys and The Number of that Truck. Trout is incredible in concert -- so much music for 2 guys -- but on this CD I wish they had skipped the speaking portions of the live performance (really a minor criticism). This is another solid performance from Trout Fishing in America."
If you can't see 'em live, get this CD (or tape)

"I heard the guys at Jazzfest (New Orleans) and met them shortly after, and then HAD to go see them at Tipitina's a few months later. They are sly, funny, and musically talented in a wide range of styles. They do stuff for grownups, stuff for kids, stuff for grownups AND kids -- well, you get the idea. Tipitina's is a famous old N.O. bar and music venue - they played "Baby's Got the Car Keys" there and the place rocked! This album is more adult-oriented in theme, but you can let your kids hear it for the beautiful music. And you can listen to "Family Music Party" without kids around, as I do -- no Barney-esque saccharine in there to make an adult gag.
PS - Passed through Shreveport, LA last month around lunch time - went to Murrell's just because I'd heard the song and didn't want fast-food. It deserved having this song written about it!"
