The Friday Morning Listen - Southern Culture On The Skids - Page 2

Part of: Friday Morning Listen

Of course, I really knew nothing about the supposed seedier side of things as hooted about on this great Southern Culture CD. Still, the groovin', rebverb-soaked music manages to take me back, whether it's the Middle Eastern-flavored surfy stomp of "The Wet Spot", the fun singalong of "Banana Puddin'" or crazy two-step of "Liquored Up".

    Eight Piece Box is one of the coolest songs in my collection. Gotta love the SCOTS.
