Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. Poor choice of words. It was my amused reaction to the album in my hands. The album has, on its cover, a bearded young "hillbilly" in work clothes with a shotgun, and a long-suffering wife with a baby sitting in the window in the shadows of a Walker Evans hut, straight out of the 1930s. Take off the wrapper, and open the cover, you see another picture: two beautifully groomed 1950s high school girls all in white who look as if they have just discovered the right end of a guitar. I was interested in finding out whether they were considered to be reasonable interpreters of this music that was obviously not theirs.

yours, Peter T.
