BIG FAT WHITEY - same

The so-called celebrations are over. Everyone is feeling low down and depressed. So what the world needs is a hefty dose of Alt Blues Comedy! And that is exactly what Big Fat Whitey provide.

The chap behind Big Fat Whitey has apparently released 40 albums, and this one is a cracker. Of course what makes it funny is the authentic blues sound allied to the hilarious lyrics which take the blues idiom and just push them a shade further than usual. Of The 16 tracks on offer some are just soo good. Personal favourites include "Cholesterol Festival", the boogiesome "Born To Clean Toilets and Rock and Roll" and the classic "Drivin' While Drinkin'".

Of course it wouldn't be so amusing if the musicians were not uniformly excellent and knew their way around their instruments. Which they do. And is there really a studio called Rectum? Pray thanks to the American Society for the Preservation of White Trash Heritage and Traditions, and contact;
