Texas Bohemia Vol. II: Slow Music / The Texas Bohemian-Moravian-German Bands

Trikont

US-0222

  • Released: December 18, 2006

A horribly compelling grab-bag of 70s jukebox hits covered by South Texas Moravian, Bohemian and German bar bands. The Ellinger Combo sound stoned out of their brains droning out the anti-hippy anthem “Okie From Muskogee”. Joe Patek’s Orchestra are a righteously groovefree oompah band hilariously lurching their way through Hank Williams’s “Fraufein”. Even more of a nightmare, Adolf Hofner. And His Pearl Wranglers transform “I’ll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time” into a threat from a manic depressive. In some ways a wonderful collection, but if you identify with this music, just don’t move into my neighbourhood.
