Besides a great band name and an impressive album booklet, Amish Love Child also produces some pretty good music. The kind steeped in rock tradition, that echoes the bell-bottom sounds of a generation ago. There’s a mellow feel, mostly, though tunes like Snidely Whiplash allow the band to unveil their punkier, grungier side.

Quirky lyrical themes and Western beats on more than a few tracks recall bands like NRPS and the Flying Burrito Brothers, the type of music that Mother Hips has mastered today. This trio hails from the college town of Eugene, Oregon, and their laid-back sound is sure to bring smiles to local folks, rain or shine.

Favorite Track: Track 3, “I Don’t Wanna Work”
