Austin TX’s baddest bluegrass hellcats hop back into the fray with their 2nd CD.

And what can you expect from this dandy little number? Fiddles, mandolins, stand-up bass, acoustic guitars, two-part female vocal harmonies, and enough sass, sorrow, and spit to rattle anyone foolish enough to think that bluegrass is boring festival music for the Camper Van set.

As with their first CD, traditional numbers butt up against originals about pills, beer, doomed men, and pushy women--with covers from country music stalwarts like Bill Monroe, George Jones, Lou Reed, and Daniel Johnston (yes, that Daniel Johnston) providing the aesthetic underpinnings.

Yes, they can play super fast, but they can also wring buckets of emotion out of their instruments when it suits them. Yes, they can be irreverent, but one listen to the doe-eyed Jo Walston singing a waltz about love gone south, and you will believe. If you think you hate bluegrass, we double-dog dare you to take on TMP. You’ll thank us.

"Concentrate only on their jokes and word play, and you might overlook their musical abilities--missing the reason they're able to pull the whole thing off in the first place. TMP's combination of musical chops and mirth is both uncommon and a helluva lot of fun." The Austin Chronicle

"When they get cookin', you'll suddenly ask 'Is there really that much difference between a fiddle-sizzling hoedown ditty and a balls-to-the-wall hardcore track?' Methinks not." Splendid E-zine
