"The fertile West Bank folk 'n' blues scene gets a hip kick in the pants from a delightful new CD with hideous cover art -- "Forget Your Truffles and Dance!" by the LiquorPigs. At least two generations of players convene on this 15-track lowdown gem, which delivers lots of pre-WWII blues and hokum, some irreverent gospel, healthy shots of goofball rockabilly and country, plus a few David Babb originals that could be drunken outtakes from Dylan's "Desire" album."

"The group’s debut album, Forget Your Truffles and Dance, is as much a sunny day playing hooky at the swimming hole as it is a smoky, beer-soaked rent party. The guys play everything on this record from old country to straight-up rock and roll, ranging from Rev. Gary Davis to tunes by the Faces. The band also does a Replacements song without the least bit of irony and raids the song list of elder statesman Spider John Koerner, who incidentally sings on the record. The Liquor Pigs have also been backing Koerner up at some of his own shows."
