Rating: 6.5 washboards out of 10
This album was recorded in a chicken coop, or so every review says. I'm sure that is pertinent information for the trivia set, but you can't hear any chickens on the recordings so I'm not sure it ultimately matters. What does matter is this album comes the closest to replicating their live show, a ramshackle conflagration of bluegrass, zydeco, country rock and Bob Dylan impersonations. This isn't my favorite set of their songs (that would be their 2009 record "Yonder Is the Clock"), but it is the best sounding of all their releases. So Maybe that chicken coop is pertinent after all, maybe it was the fumes of old, dried up chicken shit that led to a quality sound.
Oh, and if you're looking for their most popular song, "Frankie's Gun", this is the album it's on. Just an FYI.
