Are you ready for the Beaumonts? The first lyrics on this reissue of their 2010 debut might help you decide. "You can say what you want about me, but I never gave my husband chlamydia," sings Troy Wayne Delco. If that tickles your funny bone, you might enjoy some of the quintet's other tunes – "Let's Get Drunk," "Money for Drugs," "Big Fake Boobs" – all performed with wild-eyed Seventies country vibe. The other side of bro-country.
