Details:
Imagine if Shel Silverstein wrote songs for adults. Ok, ok, Shel Silverstein did write songs for adults, and they were really good, but most people don't know that. Mark Silverman is that kind of artist -- his songs are simple, catchy, and remarkably clever. They run the gamut across taboo subjects, from sex to politics to religion. Always provocative but never obscene, Mark Silverman's second album is tight and polished, the kind of songs you'll be singing along with on the bus ride to work (until you notice people staring at you!). Think of Randy Newman's "Short People". Or Kinky Friedman's "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed". The kinds of songs that offend the easily offended (politically-correct activists on the left and religious zealots on the right). The kinds of songs you either love or hate, nothing in between. The kind that are so great, they will fog up your goggles.
