When not overseeing the re-release of the Hefner back catalogue it seems that Darren Hayman likes nothing more than getting a few like-minded friends (including Dave Tattersall of the Wave Pictures) around in his kitchen and playing bluegrass inspired ditties.

It all flows along very nicely with warmth and wit. Highlights are the aforementioned opener Sly and the Family Stone with a winning chorus of ‘I ain’t got no money / But she spends hers on me / I’m a kept man’ as well as their cover of the Mountain Goats’ Jam-Eater Blues.
It does feel a little over-long and occasionally a bit self-indulgent (especially on a few of the instrumental tracks). However given that the group were only originally intended as a bit of fun between friends that can be forgiven. It is clear that they enjoyed making the album and the album they have made is very enjoyable.
