In the immortal words of Trailer Park Troubador R. J. "Antsy" McClain: "Woody Guthrie sang about trains. Red Sovine sang about trucks. We sing about trailers. It's who we are." Welcome to the skewed, pink flamingo-populated world of Antsy and his third cousin twice removed Stephen Foster "Flem" Fleming III, born and bred in the Pine View Heights Trailer Park in Screamin' Holler, Kentucky. With the aid of guitars, strong voices, a rock 'n' roll attitude, and a whole lot of polyester plaid - not to mention the three-piece Sons of Hitches Band (Jimmy Jackson, Bruce Wandmayer, and Bob Aguirre) - Antsy and Flem regale the Freight with their hilarious, high-energy "folkabilly" music, featuring original gems off their new album, Living in Aluminum, like "It Ain't Home Till You Take the Wheels Off," "Trailer on the Bayou," and "She Took the Mobile Outta Mobile Home." |
