There's something both appealing and disconcerting going on here, a
combination of styles that ought not to work, maybe takes some getting
used to, but that seems likely to reward the effort. Quoting
MusicRemedy quoting AllMusic.com (talk about lazy; I can't even steal
from somebody firsthand!), "If Liberace joined a swing band, and
enlisted a guitarist addicted to eclecticism (Western, surf flecked,
and C&W included), it might sound a bit like this." Another
reviewer hears ska in the mix, although without the rough amateurish
quality we associate with ska. (If it isn't rough and amateurish --
and I mean that in a good way -- is it ska?)
Maybe we need another genre. How about Uneasy Listening? Think
anybody's go for that?
