Danny Barnes - Pizza Box

I was quite excited when I heard of this guy. A bluegrass, punk, jazz fusion? That's my kind of bush. And indeed, the music is quite interesting. Unfortunetly, this guy is a singer-songwriter so the arrangements are taylored toward his vocals - which in themselves aren't bad (quite nice drawl actually). The big problem comes is with the idiotic lyrics and subject matter. Just about every song is about "a woman", and with corny lines like "we making love with the radio on" , there just feels like a total lack of artistry, despite the fairly interesting musical premise.

This particular album is mostly bluegrass/rock flair, however. So maybe his other stuff is better. I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt because I jumped blindly into his discog and started with this album.
