| Fathers
and mothers have requested a compendium of Bad Examples music they
could play without having to explain that song about a mariner's
inebriation at a brothel, why the singer would rather drink an intoxicating
beverage than wholesome milk in Heaven, or just what the fictional
Adam McCarthy was dying from.
This album, properly
stickered as well, has 14 kid-friendly gems. Highlights include
a new squeaky-clean version of Ralph Covert's signature song, "Not
Dead Yet" (as covered by Styx and heard on HBO's Six Feet Under),
a new full-band version of "The Amazing Romero," (an acoustic
version can be heard on the "Birthday" album, a brand-new
song, "Find Your Cherry Bomb," and rescuing from an obscure
charity release, "Christmas In Vegas." The package contains
a fully-illustrated booklet delineating the original sources for
each track.
Unlike the previous still-available hits set, Popscape: The Best
of Ralph Covert And The Bad Examples, Vol. 1, this second volume
can also fit alongside the Ralph's World albums. While this is definitely
adult rock'n'roll, it's one you won't mind your kids hearing- and
loving.
Release date was October 25, 2005. |
