These are Vintage (1930s) Country recordings, comprising risqué, double-entendre songs and others of a similar ilk, with plenty of yodelling - effectively, the po' white trash equivalent of pre-war Blues. While Country artists chasing mainstream acceptance were generally cautious, Cliff Carlisle routinely ignored the boundaries that had been drawn in the sand. Indeed, Carlisle was perhaps the man for whom the concept "Non-PC" might have been invented. And in an era when Blues musicians routinely sang 'risqué' material, heavy with innuendo, he gave them a run for their money. This compilation draws from the seedier side of Cliff's recorded legacy, concentrating on his "earthy" repertoire. He sings, joyously, of his little mama's "mouses' ear" (and boasts of "hauling her ashes"), of "barnyard sex" (Cliff was fascinated by the activities of cocks and pussies), of "wild cat mamas" and "pay-day fights", the horror of being "married alive", and much, much more
