Reviews: Camel Toe ~ Camel Toe

With titles like "Midget In A Thong," "Camel Toe Party," and "Rooster Cockburn," one might think that the self titled CD from Camel Toe is just a comedy album or a silly teenager's basement musing. Well it's not and it is all at the same time. And, depending on your point of view, you can either find this CD thoroughly disgusting (like your sister would say when she found the Playboys under your bed) or just plain funny in a let's have a good time and be irreverent kind of way. The CD is chock-full of fratboy humor that you might find on Howard Stern, borrowing from the same things I thought were funny when I listened to Cheech and Chong as a thirteen year old.

Have no doubt, the boys in this band ROCK. For a trio, they sure put out a lot of sound and fill the sonic spectrum so that there is no dead time. Part ZZ Top part James Brown (with a little George Clinton theatrics thrown in), Camel Toe lays down a lot of funk. JP Ferris' guitar never stops as we hear on the track "Warp Core," a minor key instrumental featuring Ferris' lightning fast riffs (this is probably the one they play to get the girls to dance on the bar ... ) and a rhythm section (Doug White on bass and Dean Vellenga on drums) that stays with him neck and neck at all times.

Camel Toe pays homage to War, one of the great R&B/funk bands of the 70s, by covering "Low Rider," but as War's version was laid back and cool, Camel's version is NASCAR-speed demon, burn-rubber fast; still ... very cool. The disk ends with a very funked-out track "Jungle." Ferris (in a telephone voice) gives us a rap about the hard life in the Jungle and liberally seasons the track with the F-word. Then, midway through the song, we are treated to a pseudo documentary about mating rituals in the Jungle – Risk and Danger - go figure.

This is a fun CD to listen to, and the playing is superb. The listener just needs to get past the adolescent humor to hear the real genius.
