Although based in Nashville, Tennessee, the capital of country music, Lambchop cannot easily be classified into a genre and certainly not into that of traditional country music. The collective around frontman Kurt Wagner has a fluid membership, at times including as many 18 musicians, and is frequently associated with alternative country. Lambchop’s music combines wryly ironic lyrics that are complex in form and content with harmonious tunes and soulful background vocals. It is indebted to folk and country as much as to the smooth soul of Barry White, Curtis Mayfield or Marvin Gaye and can be seen as a fine exemplification of Kris Kristofferson’s famous line: “country music is the white man’s soul”.

Women Help To Create The Kind Of Men They Despise Lyrics

Lambchop

Women help to create the kind of men they despise
Misery is often apparent of some affecting touches
That were composed under her name
Or, the dignity of criticism
increases the confusion in men
Her heart clenched, sexual
More breathlessly than if she had
And felt she wasequipped
to understand them
The passage of time
increases the confusion in men
I've seen it
She loved the spare texture
of his difficult, and sad books,
and felt she was exceptionally
equipped with Stanley Wilson's
distractions
rug that opened as a well of color at her feet
was everywhere,
and the lamps
in the middle of the day:
The low,
deeply recessed
casement windows were running with rain
And wet leaves.
