Review: Formed in Phoenix circa 1980, Meat Puppets carved out a very specific sound for themselves under the beating hot Arizona sun. A combination of alternative rock, cowpony, psyche, alternative country, punk and post punk, they also employ elements of hard rock and heavy metal (that solo on 'Automatic Mojo', and the propellant bassline) while stitching together their patchwork quilt of sounds with a six string. Recorded in 1999, Live In Montana showcases the group at their loudest and most immediately infectious. Captured during two back-to-back live shows at the Sundance Club, Bozeman, and Top Hat Club, Missoula, covers of Lionel Hampton, UTFO, Roy Orbison, Holocaust, Black Sabbath and Elvis Presley jostle for position next to original material from these kings of southern curveballs.
