Neil Hamburger - Sings Country Winners

America's hardest working, most profoundly suffering Funnyman returns with his eighth Drag City release. No two Neil Hamburger albums have ever been alike, but this one will throw even the staunchest fan for a loop: Neil Hamburger sings country and western. As with the classic "celebrity vocal" album by the likes of William Shatner and Telly Savalas, Neil's personality shines through even when his vocal chords don't. Seven originals and three obscure covers pack in a maximum of storytelling and pathos in the tradition of the late great Porter Wagoner. On this release, Neil is backed up by a "too good for Neil Hamburger" band who ensure that the sound is vintage country rather than unwanted novelty – or worse yet, the universally-hated sound of contemporary country radio.
