5.0 out of 5 stars Paint Me On Velvet - The Austin Lounge Lizards, August 9, 2000

Another amazing album from the Lizards. They have a unique ability to "send-up" country and western cliches. Reminiscing about dear old Grand-pop becomes a ballad about loading his image onto a laser projector and "sitting in the kitchen with Grandpa's hologram." The theme of the beauty of Texas becomes, "That Godforsaken Hell-Hole I Call Home," ("all my friends are buried there and some of them are dead . . .") In a truly bizarre and wonderful twist, they combine the theme of the strong, silent man with the drivel of the men's movement, in "Paint Me On Velvet" ("we stood around in the rain, just a feeling our pain, and learning to grieve.") As usual with the Lizards, an absolute hoot of an album, combined with total mastery of bluegrass and Texas Swing. A gem of an album.

i had the advantage of knowing a little about the type of material that the lounge lizards record and was very pleased with this selection.they provide very good vocals,excellent instrumentals, some humor,and some things to think about all on one disc.the ordering and shipping of the disc went good,and the waiting for its arrival was only made difficult by my eagerness to start listening to it .
