Meat Puppets sickened Eighties hardcore punk puritans with country, bluegrass and psychedelic additives that eventually became palatable. Today, after decades of drugs, departures, and detainments, the resilient Phoenix trio’s signature sound is a fleet of foot, tie-dyed, hillbilly acid rock hybrid draped on the nimble exoskeleton of Curt Kirkwood’s languidly lysergic licks.
The title track is punk country bad trip. Time And Money channels the shimmering folk rock picking of the early ’70s Byrds.
Down shows off its honeyed vocal harmonies unashamed.
Meat Puppets are a genre-jumping American institution.
