Snafu

Listening to Snafu's first album is like listening to two different bands. One band is an incredibly tight funk and R&B band. The other band is a country band. "Long Gone" is a great funk work-out, followed by a bluegrass stomp, "Monday Morning.." Side two kicks off with the nice country-rock of "Country Nest" that extols the virtues of country living, followed by the fiddle-driven country stomp of "Funky Friend." (They almost fooled you!) Those are followed by some slick R&B on "Goodbye USA." Snafu can handle both genres, and their lyrics are often humorous. If you can handle the whiplash you'll get from listening, it's worth your time.
