Pay no attention to the official review above. Who ever wrote it should stick to their Ronnie Milsap CDs and leave real country alone. This album anything but boring. I saw them live in Kansas City and man, let me tell you, what a show. Sweet in the Pants does a good job of capturing that same energy.

As another reviewer wrote, ignore the official review above. That stuffy reviewer must have been undergoing painful surgery on his funnybone when he listened to this album. This female-fronted band is terrific! Whip fast music, clever smart and funny songs, the album is sharp as a needle in the eye. The lyrics alone are marvelous, and every time I listen to this album I catch another great line or clever turn of phrase which makes me laugh. But the music--a combo of bluegrass, country, and folk--makes your foot start tapping while your brain leaps to appreciate all of the great lyrics. "Go Out Smokin'" starts with the line: You are the lamest judge I have appeared before." And I defy anyone to listen to Lady Muleskinner without wanting to move at least six parts of their body. Check these folks out for sure! I have four of their albums and though they are all great, this one is the best.

this band was the *unknown* opening for the old 97s. we were SCREAMING for more. she was shaking her tush and winking at the crowd while crooning *i'm more man than you'll ever be and more woman than you'll ever get* - what a great time. and FILTHY jokes between songs. my husband and i rushed to buy this cd the minute they left the stage.

I've just come from seeing these folks live in Wichita, and bought the CD immediately. It's a fine piece of bluegrass, with a cutting edge to it (and, occasionally, a little nasty). Nothing pretentious in either the album or the band members, just good music and a lot of fun to listen to.

Innovative, hysterical, politically incorrect, wildly entertaining, totally sweet and totally raunchy. I absolutely loved every minute of this cd. If you like letting your hair down and singing along, you'll also love this. I'm just sorry that I've never heard them perform in concert.

...as has been mentioned several times already. This is fantastic stuff. "...topics deemed unsavory by contemporary bluegrass standards." What in the hell does that mean? Have you ever listened to the words of Knoxville Girl? Bluegrass and Country used to address horribly unsavory topics all the time, standards of the broader genre. I still expect it. TMP delivers.
