Product Description
From Amazon.com
One common joke about the Shaggs is that it would be impossible to cover their songs note for missed note, each missed beat, as they embody the true definition of shambling pop. This late-'60s group, made up of three sisters (and fostered by their father, who was by some accounts a domineering Svengali), has been elevated to cult status over the years, heralded by the likes of Frank Zappa, Ira Kaplan, and John Zorn. Conventional notions of musicality aside, the Shaggs played with a childlike innocence and sort of sleepwalking confidence that--when not just silly--was captivating, enchantingly charming, and downright spiritual. Against all bets, here's a compilation from artists most qualified for the impossible task: Ida, whose members cultivate a Sergeant Pepper-era Beatles vibe on "Philosophy of the World"; avant-rocksters Thinking Fellers Union Local 242; Holland's minimalist-in-residence Joost Visser; home taper for life R. Stevie Moore; and naive wonder-Christians Danielson Famile. "My Pal Foot Foot," likely about an imaginary friend, is expertly warped even further by Deerhoof. You'll probably want to be acquainted with the Shaggs to appreciate this effort, but even if you aren't, chances are you'll seek out the originals after hearing this loving tribute. --Cyndi Elliott
