Artist: The Poxy Boggards
Album: Anchor Management
Year produced: 2008

Now if you happen to be looking for a CD that is jam-packed with fun and frolic, I would highly recommend The Poxy Boggards. Anchor Management is a hilariously amusing, yet very well-done album that quite resembles a drunken party set to music. The quick-witted band has been known for their smart, if somewhat irreverent style. Even so, I don't want to give the impression that they are in any way amateurish--these guys know their stuff when it comes to music. Tight harmonies are center stage here and you'll not only be laughing, but loving the music as well. It's a nice combination. Typically bands can do one but not the other. That isn't the case at all here--you get both.

The members refer to themselves as "the drinking group with a singing problem," if that gives you a window into what is in store for your ears on the eighteen tracks that grace this CD. There are almost too many members to count in the band (13), which makes things sound interesting and unique as they all have a bit of influence. This is their sixth album, so you'll find that there are no beginner mishaps or lacking arrangements. Treat yourself to a little amusement and give these guys a listen!
