Ween, a band that often tackles several genres one album, chose to stick to only one: Country. Dean and Gene went down to Nashville, hired some very talented studio musicians and made a record of country songs. This album is a wonderful straight-ahead country record with bizarre lyrics. Ween is a band that can take any genre and turn it on its head. This is just another example of this. On a side note, a song that Ween recorded during this session that did not make it on the album, "So Long, Jerry", is a tribute to Jerry Garcia after his passing in 1995. You can listen to it here.
