Banned From Utopia: So Yuh Don't Like Modern Art
ByThe ensemble melds C&W twang and humor with abrupt shifts in tempo, in concert with some intentionally cheesy vocal escapades. Besides the satirical lyricism heard on “Christian Coalition Blues” and some good old hanky panky, the overall sound is brash yet at times luminous. The group even renders a few lushly executed passages, consisting of mood-evoking choruses and a relaxed sense of swing. A fitting tribute to the late master for sure! The musicians serve up an irrefutably rousing offering that casts a contemporary edge to Zappa’s storied and sometimes misunderstood legacy! (Strongly recommended...)
