Our favorite Texans are back with their spiffy vocal harmonies, polished steel guitar licks, and breathtaking instrumentals, laced with twisted, not-quite-traditional lyrics. With Conrad Deisler and Hank Card on guitar, Tom Pittman on banjo and steel guitar, Boo Resnick on bass, and Lex Browning on mandolin and fiddle, the group presents a sound and sensibility that is part bluegrass, part country, part Cajun, and pure irreverence. Their recent release, Never an Adult Moment (Sugar Hill), offers such classic lizardiana as "Eighty Hillbillies in a Haunted House" and the auto-biographical "I'm Forty Years Old and I'm Livin' in my Mom's Garage." |
