"Twisted Tales From The Vinyl Wastelands" Vol. 12 "Flea Market Boogie"

Great collection of twisted country in the vein of “God Less America” comp!

Yes, it's another of those weird and wacky collections that will have you scratching your head and crying "Where do they find this stuff?" It starts off in fine form with A Visit From The Devil by Jack Leonard where a newly buried corpse reflects on the bad life he led! Then it's on to what is probably the only song about flea-markets - Flea Market Boogie by Tenn. Bee and then the tale of the Chicken Thief from Charles & Charles & The Guitar Rockers and who could forget 1st Lt. Don Knepp's parody of Jimmy Dean's Big Bad John - Don sings about Bad Breath Carl. Lots more goodies on the subject of prison, truckers, hobos, wig wearers, politicians (including a song trumpeting the merits of Governer George Wallace), drunks and more. How can you go wrong? (FS) (Roots & Rhythm)
