Released at a time when country was still considered dumb hick music by the legions of underground rock enthusiasts immersed in the D.C. Hardcore scene -- and with Palace Brothers still a long way off -- the record is the <i>Sweetheart of the Rodeo</i> of its generation. Rooted in the weird landscapes of the southwestern desert they came from, the Meat Puppets's fractured country/punk songs offered a never-before encountered number of chops that were, on top of it all, psychedelic as hell. They released great records into the '90s -- ever honing their craft -- but for many of their early fans, their sound became a little over-honed as the looseness and throw-away attitude of their Punk origins gave way to rigid musicianship and a creeping Zappa feel. Still, the Meat Puppets stand as one of the great bands of the 1980s. - Mike McGuirkIndie/Alternativeen720Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:47:12 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1977&rws=%2Fmeat-puppets%2Fdiscography.rss If the Meat Puppets were judged solely on the merits of their masterpiece achievement <i>Meat Puppets II</i>, they might be considered the greatest rock 'n' roll band of all time.
