Here's a good choice for the end of the year....it's a really upbeat and quite entertaining party singalong album that can really swing. Too late for your New Year's party, but early enough to help nurse you through your hangover. I bought it because I thought the name of the band was delightfully stupid, and saw there was a version of Mississippi Mud, and had to know if they sing "the people beat their feet in the Mississippi Mud", or the original "the darkies beat their feet...." (answer: the former).
The combo really gets into it on some of the cuts, and I would say there are several keepers here--By the Waters of the Minnetonka, Casey Jones, and Keepin out of Mischief, and Silver Dollar, for starters. Not a bad return for an investment of a buck. Hope you like it too....and THANKS for all the support many of you have shown this blog. We all know Google shartity blogs are hanging on by a thread.....if you're not already part of my Facebook group, it's a good idea if you want to find out what happens next after this blog disappears. My passion for odd music will undoubtedly continue, and the satisfaction I get when I hear one (or more) of you say you like the music is considerable.
Hope your New Year is full of charmingly cringeworthy tunes. XXXOOO

yay...you are back. It's been dismal without you. I used to live near the banks of lake Minnetonka. The people there would never say "darkie" buy they sure acted like they thought it. Me I say whatever I want. Not necessarily an honorable thing, but it's occasionally funny.
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THANKS FOR SOMETHIN SMITH. I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF 45'S FROM THEM SINCE I WAS A KID (A LONG TIME AGO) AND THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME HAPPY. I USED TO PUT THEM ON MY CASSETTE COMPILATIONS ALONG WITH ROCK MUSIC AT THE TIME AND PLAY THEM WHILE DRIVING AROUND AND IT WOULD PISS OFF MY FRIENDS. OH WELL!
Pissing off people with music (and words) is what this blog is all about. Cheers!
