Gibby Haynes and His Problem

I have to admit that I'm writing this with the distinct disadvantage of ignorance. See, I've never heard any Butthole Surfers songs. None. Sure, I know of the Butthole Surfers and I know that Gibby Haynes is their lead singer but I haven't actually listened to them before. The closest I've come is Gibby's guest vocals on Ministry's Jesus Built My Hotrod. Why? Well...um, you know...I mean, come on; they're named the Butthole Surfers. When I saw Gibby Haynes and His Problem on the list of new releases, though, for some reason I wanted to give it a listen and I can report that, once you get past that nasty cover, it's not bad at all. It's off the beaten path, which is always a good thing. Gibby's reputation for lyrics from another dimension is well-deserved ("Let's all go to Superman's house. Everything is stolen.") but not distracting. Check out Woo and the hilarious Redneck Sex. Nothing wrong with taking the path least travelled. Now I'll have to check out some of that surf music he's done :-).
