Fresh
out of Valium? This record will do just as well. A horribly compelling grab-bag
of 70s jukebox hits covered by South Texas Moravian, Bohemian and German
bar bands. The Ellinger Combo sound stoned out of their brains droning out
the anti-hippy anthem "Okie From Muskogee". Joe Patek's Orchestra are a
righteously groovefree oompah band hilariously lurching their way through
Hank Williams's "Fraufein". Even more of a nightmare, Adolf Hofner. And
His Pearl Wranglers transform "I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time" into
a threat from a manic depressive. In some ways a wonderful collection, but
if you identify with this music, just don't move into my neighbourhood.
