The real deal

Tussinup

There is quite a bit of "alt.country" out there (and I ain't namin' any names because everybody has to earn a living, plus maybe you like them, and I don't want to prejudice you against TMP), that is played by people who never could rock, and now they're getting old. I doubt many of those people ever sat through an entire George Jones album. Well that is not the situation of the Meat Purveyors who have more attitude than anyone since Jerry Lee Lewis and can also play their little asses off. Yes, it really is bluegrass, but it is more real than anybody's authentic recreation twangfest, but rather should serve as an inspiration for the kind of trouble that gets you on one of the white trash episodes of "Cops". Don't hesitate. Forget about the danger, just think of the fun.

Despite the relative ugliness of the band’s name (which goes double for the album title), the Meat Purveyors’ Sweet in the Pants is a surprisingly faithful slice of contemporary alt-country sounds. Leaning heavily toward progressive bluegrass, the group is distinguished by the superb vocals of Jo Walston and the supple guitar work of Bill Anderson; they also have good taste in songs, covering material from Elvis Presley, Bill Monroe and Merle Haggard. – Jason Ankeny
