4.0 out of 5 stars
Completely original, April 18, 2004
This review is from: You Can Name It Yo' Mammy If You Wanna... (Audio CD)
The name of the band, CD title and the cover picture, which appears to a prostitute taking a drag on a cigarette in front of a juke joint, suggest this is not going to be a highly polished, easy listening CD. And South Filthy is the kind of band you might find stumbling into some small, gritty bar someplace in the middle of nowhere, which is the beauty of this CD. And the music turns out not to be anywhere near as raunchy as outward appearances.
You're not going to be blown away by any of the musicians, singing, or songwriting. What blew me away was the joy of the songs, which have no interest in following any normal conventions of traditional blues/country/bar band rock and most importantly, commercialism. The songs, done so earnestly, if not spectacularly, are largely original.
I doubt you've ever heard anything like it, and probably never will again.
