Editorial Reviews

High Cheese (keyboards, second base), Fungo (guitars, shortstop), and SacFly (drums, right field) make up the starting line-up for The Farmhands – the first band in history to record an epic double album (American League/National League) featuring one song for each of Major League Baseball's 30 teams. Ranging from old school rap ("Old Pirate's Just a Rastaman" - Pittsburgh) to indierock ("Twin Killing" - Minnesota) to folk ("Red Sox Fever" - Boston) to acapella ("A is for Apple" Oakland) to spirited salsa ("Boggs en Caballo" - TampaBay), The Farmhands cover more musical ground than Ozzie Smith going behind the bag at short. With bittersweet SoCal punk ("Moral Superiority" - San Francisco), nasty sex grooves ("Story of O" - Baltimore), and plaintive cosmic abstractions ("Does Montreal Really Have a Baseball Team?" - Washington), The Farmhands feature subject matter deeper and more diverse than the 1998 Yankees' bullpen. With American League/National League, The Farmhands have given baseball-loving music fans and rock n'roll baseballers what they probably didn't even know they were longing for. Somewhere in the vast middle where those 2 great American pastimes, Rock and Baseball, come together, stand The Farmhands: eager to play.
