Album Notes & Community Reviews

A quintessential outlaw country manifesto, heavily blurring the lines between conservative honky-tonk culture and the rebellious hippie counterculture. The deeply sarcastic title track playfully addresses the tension between the songwriter's outlaw aesthetic and traditional country audiences. It solidified his reputation as one of the most provocative, colorful, and gifted storytellers of the genre.
