Blinded By Turds

A very long time ago, I used to receive a catalog from Publishers Central Bureau selling cutout albums and out of print books. They sold some of the Request (calypso) library that had been re-rereleased on the low-budget Murray Hill label. They also had a stellar collection of music by randy folkie Oscar Brand. I didn’t like folk music, and had never heard of the guy, but the song titles were SO intriguing….Ring Dang Doo…She’ll Do It Again…Three Prominent Bastards.

So I ended up buying the Bawdy Sea Chanteys album, which has been a perennial favorite (and was one of maybe 50 albums I’ve kept since my early collecting days).

So despite a higher price than I usually pay ($4), Oscar Brand’s Bawdy Western Songs came home with me from a shopping expedition. If you don’t race to download this based upon the fact that there is a song called “Blinded By Turds”, then I really have no idea what you’re doing here. Honestly. You’re DEAD to me.
