ZZZ… ZZZ… ZZZ…

The album title sounds more fitting for a Young Nudy album than a folk album. That’s what really drew me in was the title, but this album is only outclassed by the Mumford debut album that came out this year for being the worst folk record of the year. This was like bad gas station music in the middle of Wyoming in a town you’ve never heard of. There’s not much I can really say outside of that.
