Review

If the title of the Meat Purveyors' second album--a sly nod to the Talking Heads--doesn't make it plain, this ain't your daddy's bluegrass. Heck, this irreverent (and often super-speedy) Austin-based quartet covers Lou Reed and indie-pop weirdo Daniel Johnston here. But don't think for a second that the Meat Purveyors are just out for a chuckle at the expense of tradition: they know their gospel ("Working on a Building"), honky-tonk (George Jones's "Whatcha Gonna Do"), and Bill Monroe ("Can't You Hear Me Callin'") staples too. On top of that, mandolinist Pete Stiles and guitarist Bill Anderson have enough chops to supply a Texas barbecue joint for a week; bassist Cherilyn Dimond's energy alone could fire the pit. Just one qualm: Jo Stanli Walston's vocals are too thin to give lines like "I'm more man than you'll ever be and more woman than you'll ever get" their requisite swagger and sass. --Anders Smith-Lindall And what can you expect from this dandy little number? Fiddles, mandolins, stand-up bass, acoustic guitars, two-part female vocal harmonies, and enough sass, sorrow, and spit to rattle anyone foolish enough to think that bluegrass is boring festival music for the Camper Van set.
