1994: LP (Abduction: ABDT-006)

First released in 1994 as an LP with a limited pressing of 1,000 copies, Jack's Creek is infamously known as Sun City Girls' "hillbilly record." If you're familiar with SCG (and you probably are if you're reading this), you've already guessed that if these guys ever decided to go hillbilly, they probably did so all the way. Well, you're right. Jack's Creek is probably SCG's least typical and most typical album -- "least" because, really, this music is far removed from what they usually do, but "most" because, broken down to the attitude and humor, this LP (reissued on CD in 2007) is a perfect illustration of what Sun City Girls were about at the time, as long as you had the curiosity to dig deeper than their college radio hits. First up is a 12-minute collage of slack-jawed ramblings about strange odors and odd rumors ("Gurnam"). The rest of the album consists of shorter musical vignettes, mostly played on banjo, honky tonk piano, harmonica, drum kit, and junk percussion. The trio members occasionally stop playing to resume their old-folk ramblings ("Useless Stillborn"). The music translates SCG's warped take on hillbilly music (or what it should be according to them), with the march-like "Double Suicide Over a Saddle" standing out as a particularly apt piece. "Jazz Music of the Civil War," all loose and unfocused, is strongly reminiscent of Eugene Chadbourne, down to the singing -- in fact, Chadbourne's spirit reigns all over Jack's Creek. Definitely not representative nor meant to be a "serious" record, Jack's Creek is still good for a hearty laugh and a puzzling excursion into experimental music, as Sun City Girls foray into a genre that never was and hopefully never will be.

"The album is full of prairie-campfire nonsense played on tittering banjo, military snare, honky-tonk piano, and tin flute, and tied together by between-song episodes of babbling and storytelling." — HotWired
