Review

The Austin Lounge Lizards--so named as to distinguish them from New York's Lounge Lizards and Chicago's Jesus Lizard, not to mention reptilian lounge denizens from everywhere else--has carved its own niche by penning satiric country/bluegrass songs that compensate for the oft-strained vocals with a venomous wit and deceptively adept musicianship. Take, for example, "Stupid Texas Song," which skewers the Lone Star state's outsized pride in all things Texan with lines like "Our rattlesnakes are the coiliest/Our beaches are the oiliest." Like most comedy albums, not everything here holds up to repeat listens. Still, it's hard to begrudge a band that can rewrite the Beach Boys' "Shut Down" as "Hey, Little Minivan" for soccer moms; visualize the world's drollest grease monkey in "Leonard Cohen's Day Job;" and keep a straight face on a barstool weeper called "The Dogs, They Really Miss You." --Rick Mitchellyes
