5.0 out of 5 stars Redneck Avant Garde, April 26, 2000

This is one of the weirdest furshluggin' albums you're ever likely to hear. From the terrifying, howling accapella cover of "John the Revelator" to the giddy "Hobo Train", this is thoroughly revisionist folk music. The boys of Rube dredge up old traditions, dust them off, then expose them to deadly radiation and twisted drugs, unleashing the mutant offspring to wreak havoc on their listeners' ears. If you can imagine a jug band with tablas and experimental, hand-built electronic instruments, you're on your way to understanding this mindboggling band. And if you dug Tom Waits' last few albums, you'll probably appreciate the deep-fried flavor and intense musical eccentricity of the album.

This is a damn fine record to get your booty shakin while you putt about the house and take care of business. Fun music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different from anything I've ever heard, September 4, 1999

I'd recommend that you begin listening with tracks 13 and 21, which effectively deconstruct the tough-guy, angst-ridden attitude that they try to start out with in the first few tracks. There aren't many tracks I'd cut out of this album; almost all of them have some redeeming musical and/or political point to make.
