SNAC - Songs For A New American Century Vol. 1: Let Them Eat Cake
2008, Big Nose Music
Humor in music is not new, but there is a distinct difference between music with a sense of humor and novelty music. Songs For A New American Century Vol. 1: Let Them Eat Cake adeptly walks the line between the two with a spring in its step. Big Money opens the collection of twelve songs by lambasting the way that corporate and special interests have taken over our governance. When All The Earth Is Texas is a nationalistic ode to the Lone Star State. My God brings a bit of humorous religious fanaticism to the album while outlining one of the primary reasons for war in human existence.
