beer_good_foamy3. A song that reminds you of summertime
Lambchop - Is A Woman
This whole album is the ultimate "lounge around on the porch doing nothing because it's too hot" album; each song so slow and lazy it barely registers as music, Kurt Wagner mumbling the lyrics and the musicians only occasionally poking at their instruments. I mean, there's an entire song about watching the dog sleeping on the lawn. And then halfway through the very last track it's like the whole band reluctantly decide to lurch to their feet and go do something even if it's only to get another beer, and the song stumbles into the whitest reggae rhythm known to man, for absolutely no reason beyond that it's just too hot not to.

I'll never forget the opening: The curtain rises, and behind Fogerty and the band is a gigantic mural, covering the height and breadth of the stage, of a dilapidated old shack at the edge of a swamp. Before the curtain even finishes its ascent, they launch into "Born on the Bayou." Behind Fogerty on the drums, one of the all-time greats in terms of power and precision, is Kenny Aronoff, a huge grin plastered on his face.
An unforgettable moment.
