Seriously, this is one of the most disturbingly good things I've ever heard!!!

Country Moog

Switched on Nashville

by Gil Trythall

1972

"That there sure ain't no fiddle..."

Absolutely insane!! I'm not sure if it is just a rip off of Walter Carlos and Switched on Bach, or just someone taking the absolute piss, but it is awesome! It is the kind of stuff that futurist truckers were always hoping for, something straight out of "The Small Electronic Music Studio in the Prairie", released in 1972!!

Gil Trythall is very skilled in playing that there ole Moog, although one can't help but wonder "who the fuck is Gil Trythall".. Minor issues aside, well executed, well performed, well chosen tunes, and awesome synthesizer sounds! Hank Williams would have been proud.. And if he wasn't, well, some acid could always settle things..! This must be what country music sounds like when you're off your nuts on moonshine in the Appalachians.. Now you can get the same feeling without having to travel or drink! It somehow respects the original songs too, while at the same time stretching the limits of what is "allowed" and what is not.. A slow version of Folsom Prison Blues with synthesized vocals is simply stunning, while Yakety Moog just begs for a good ole bit of tap dancing. A lot of tunes to dance to with your space-age gal too!

The cover artwork is very well presented, if a bit of a common theme for Moog albums! Space-age hillbillies have arrived with a bang.. I can totally see this dominating the Intergalactic Highway honky tonks!
