Side 1.
"Country Sh!t" was recorded in two main sessions during the summer of 1980. The album is credited to Jack Talcum and Joe Jack Daniels. The latter was this project's pseudonymn for Joe's high school friend, Randy B., who in real life went on to become a producer of tv sports shows. Joe, as usual, filled the role of Jack Talcum. The Pope Garth (played by Garth) made his usual appearances. The only thing that made this different from a regular "Dead Milkmen" release was the absence of Rodney's characters. The album has a unified country flavor, except for the song "Johnny is A Creep" which was actually an outtake from an earlier Dead Milkmen album and was included here to fill out side one. The song "Talkin' Coatesville Blues" offers commentary on the real life surroundings of the early Milkmen. |
