What Kind Of God
There is a "Looney Tunes" clip to start this cut. They launch out into some driving powerhouse punk rock as the band take over. This is a great opener. It has a lot of energy, and some killer punk guitar soloing. |
|
When The Sh*t Goes Down
Some almost AC/DC like guitar riffing gets this one underway. The track pounds out from there with a lot of power and style. It has some serious country angles via the vocals. |
|
A Girl Like That
No big changes, this seems closer to the raw punk energy of the opener. It's a fun stomper. |
|
Drunks, Babies, And Fools
With a bit of a down-home rock and roll sound in the mix, this hard rocker is perhaps a bit less punk and more mainstream. Still, it has a punk DIY edge. |
|
Street Chicken
Much meaner and more furious, there is a real stoner metal feeling to this cut. It makes me think of Clutch just a little. The verses have distorted, slightly distant vocals, like through a speaker or megaphone. The chorus hook is punky and very catchy. This is definitely one of the strongest pieces here. |
|
Legged Dope
Now, this tune is goofy. It has a bit of a Georgia Satellites thing going on. The country angle is in power over the top of a stripped back rocking guitar arrangement. As strong as the last tune was, I'd consider this one a real miss. They go from a high point of the album to the lowest one. This has some charms, but doesn't gel all that well for me. |
|
Mama Lied
Now, this rocking romp has a lot of country in the mix, too, but it's more effective than the song that preceded it. In fact, this really is a down-home country tune with a more rocking chorus. This is also so much fun. It's another highlight of the album. I really love the country-styled guitar solo and the key change, too.

Billy Lost His Feet
Rockabilly, punk edges and more merge on this screamer. It has a bit of a stoner rock edge. It's also a lot of fun. There is a fairly long sound-bite at the end of this that feels like it comes from a movie, but I'm not sure what movie. |
|
One Last Midnight
There is some horn work in the mix on this, and the cut has a definite country music vibe. It has an arrangement that feels like a stereotypical cowboy soundscape from the 1960s or 1970s. This is another that is a real standout tune. |
|
Get The Hell Off The Farm
Country and punk merge well on this screaming hot rocker. It has some harmonica. It's a stomper, but not a standout by any means. The chorus is a lot of fun, though. |
|
Possum Kickin FSESOB
This cut doesn't work as well as some of the rest. There is just something about it that feels a little off. It does earn a bit of a parental advisory on the lyrics. |
|
Daviess Co Tractor Massacre
Now, this powerhouse rocker is more like it. I love the slide guitar. The screaming country punk vocals work well, and the whole tune just stomps like crazy. |
|
Lizard Brain
This is much more of a pure punker. It even works toward the hardcore end of the spectrum at times. There is still a slight country angle to it, though. While this is a little uneven, I still like it a lot. |
|
Best Of All Possible Worlds
County and punk merge well on this cover of a Kris Kristofferson song. The tune works pretty well, but it's not a standout. |
