If I had to use one word to describe the music on this album it would be"Fun". Grumpy Puppy's name itself was born from a sense of ironic humor. He is neither"grumpy" nor a"pup". Born and raised in the swamps of Southeastern Louisiana, Richard F. Howard (aka Grumpy Puppy) writes catchy little tunes that get caught in your head. His subject matter varies widely. The title track,"Fishin' Hole" is about the joys of fishing."Chicken Neck Dog" is about a man trying to give his dog away. There is even a song about an angel escaping from heaven so she can go dancing (St. Peter's Dilemma). Grumpy Puppy's musical influences also vary widely. Growing up he listened to old-time country (think Hank Williams and Jimmie Rogers), Southern Fried Rock & Roll (think Lynard Skynard and Blacksnake) and the swampy blues and Mardi Gras music of New Orleans.So here we have in one collection, 10 of Grumpy Puppy's greatest hits (the 11th track is an acoustic version of Fishin' Hole). He has lots more where these came from, so stay tuned for the next installment from Grumpy Puppy. But in the meantime, enjoy listening to these songs and thank you very much for stopping by.
