Dirt Ball
Turn Up The Barn
Planetary Records

These guys are weird. Maybe instead of being named Dirt Ball, they should have gone for Oddball. But that name is probably already taken. To get an idea of the strangeness, Try to sing the following song in your head:

I'm over you now/Whipped and bound/I'm over you now/and I'm looking down/ I'm looking down/Get down on your knees/pray to the god you can not appease/get down on your knees/you give me what I need/you give me what I need/you give me what I need/I will take everything from you/I'm over you now/stripped and beaten down/I'm over you now/And I'm looking Down/I'm looking down/I will take everything from you.

Now try to imagine it sung by the Traveling Wilburys instead of the Nine Inch Nails tune that I know was running through your head.

This disc is 45 minutes of startling and strange singer/songwriter countryish tunes. Turn up the barn indeed. If you can find this, get it. It's well worth the money.
