MUSIC REVIEW - Horatio Lee Jenkins


Horatio Lee JenkinsDrunker Than Satan

From the liner notes:

The legendary musical hero, Horatio Lee Jenkins, humiliated Satan in a drinking contest and composed the gloriously brilliant song “Drunker Than Satan” about the experience. He followed that work of genius with the emotionally devastating masterpiece “OH SHIT! I Don’t Feel So Good” and with the most romantic song ever made “Girl, This Bed Is Too Big Without All 12 Of You”. Horatio Lee Jenkins, the world’s most potent heterosexual, then brought us a new uplifting anthem of hope, acceptance, and unconditional Christian love: “It’s Okay To be Gay”.

This album is loltastic. It’s 4 country tracks fully embrace the melodrama inherent in the genre and turns them into songs we all can relate too. Songs about drinking Satan under the table then going back for more beer. Songs about feeling like shit after drinking Satan under the table, then deciding the only cure is more whiskey. Songs about missing the 12th girl in your 13-way. Songs about born-again Christian heterosexuals accepting gays. Truly universal themes.

And just when you think the album is as good as it could possibly get, his brother, friends, and band mates put out 3 EPIC bonus tracks. EVEN BETTER, his brother’s name is my FAVORITE WORD IN THE WORD, so much my favorite that it is my religion on Facebook – Trafalgar. True story.

So, in the words of Horatio Lee Jenkins, HELL YEAH.

Will I play it on my show? MoDef. RIYL – A little country with your comedy.
