THE FOSTER FAMILY STRING BAND - Help Foster Bluegrass Music In America


                                                                     
A recent thrift store find ,mainly for the cover photo. Note the dad's hillbilly beard ,and the mom and daughter's prim and proper posing. Now look into the son's eyes ,beneath that Frankenstein forehead/eyebrow thing ,and tell me what you see. Now read this article ,explaining young Will's dilemma http://shoalandaspeaks.blogspot.com/2010/07/why-is-will-foster-misidentified-on-sex.html . The dad and daughter both autographed the back cover ,but where were mom and son ,and why did they not sign it? Just some good ol' bluegrass ,outta AL ,with a cover of Delta Dawn ,the Tanya Tucker hit.Guitar,mandolin,banjo ,and pervo stand-up bass. Some fiddle and clarinet are added on a couple songs by non- family members.

LAMBCHOP - Soaky In The Pooper b/w Two Kittens Don't Make A Puppy

Hailed as "Nashville's most fucked up country group" ,from Tennessee ,leader Kurt Wagner and boys ,put out this first single in 1994 ,and are still going today! This has to be from before they became america's alt-country darlings ,as it is spacey and weird. Side a is mellow and has somewhat humorous lyrics.Side b is like what you would hear while coming down off an all night trip ,trippy and just when you think it's gonna end ,it kicks back in with added weirdness. This is cool!

LOPPYBOGYMI - Unreleased Studio



From what I can gather ,this band was started in 1988 by Gregory Slay , James Orr ,and Tim Ramenofsky ,in Mobile ,Alabama ,but eventually settled in Nashville ,Tennessee. They play a jazz/metal/funk/hip-hop amalgamation ,which is quite trippy , at times. This disc (and the one posted above this) , were found while thrifting ,and there is no info about either of these on the web! Gregory Slay left the band in 1994 (about a year after Loppy's (as they are sometimes referred to) first album was released) , to form the band Remy Zero , who wrote the theme song to the TV show ,Smallville , "Save Me" ,and toured with Radiohead. Slay also earned an Emmy nomination for outstanding main title theme music in 2004 , for his composition of the Nip/Tuck theme song.He also played in the bands Sleepwell , Horsethief Beats ,and O+S ,as well as working with other artists. He died Jan 1 ,2010 ,at age 40,following a lifetime battle with cystic fibrosis. This stuff is great!!
