About Decline Of Country & Western Civilization Part II
What inspired Kurt Wagner to make soul records on his back porch in Nashville? We may never know, but the songs the frontman has produced with his band Lambchop remain like none other, mixing up the usual buffet of slide guitars and mournful laments with slick horns, roof-raising falsettos and pure R&B gloss. This compilation reels in a collection of 18 b-sides and rarities from the group's back catalog, tracing an evolution that has seen the ever evolving line-up try its hand at everything from noisy indie rock to knees-on-the-floor gospel. Yes, sometimes the clever titles are better than the actual songs (really, it's hard to top "The Scary Caroler" and "Two Kittens Don't Make A Puppy"). But for those already familiar with Lambchop's broken soul music this set serves as both a useful history lesson and a treasure trove in which to discover cast-off gems such as "Gettysburg Address," "Loretta Lung" and the quietly vulgar "Smuckers." But where the hell is "Soakey in the Pooper"? --Aidin Vaziri
