THE BARNYARD PLAYBOYS
Corn Dog Love (Rubric Records)
Reviewed by Holly Day

You'd think living in Minnesota, I'd have a greater appreciation for corn dogs, but as it is, the only food I like on a stick is chocolate-dipped frozen bananas, and nobody sells those here. So I have a hard time relating to the rollicking title track of this album, where maybe someone who actually liked corn dogs might have an easier time with it. The rest of the album is full of countrified rock songs about circus freaks, receiving feces in the mail, and all the interesting things a curious explorer might come across in the South, all delivered with the easy finesse of a band of really talented neighborhood kids jamming in your back yard and having a great time doing it.
