Brother Funky says:
Well, we were lucky enough to make it to the Gutbucket family reunion earlier this summer, and it sure was a hoot. Not only was the Stag and Griesedieck flowin' aplenty, but we also got to see a lot of long-lost members of the Gutbucket fam. Great Aunt Irma was there with her famous chili recipe, Uncle Stillwater made it up from his maggot farm in Florida, and Cousin Forklift rolled in on his toilet "pot-rod," with a new sidecar that doubles as a urinal! But the most exciting appearance was from our estranged half-brother Gabe. We even got him to do a little mixin' with us before he abruptly disappeared back into the Great White North.
Brother Doowad says:
This originally started out as a straight Gutbucket release, with Brother Funky and Brother Doowad aiming to present all new artists to the gutbucket genre in the wake of two volumes of gutbuckiest artists. At the same time, Brother Doowad and Brother Gabe were working on a new volume for Los Babymakers, inspired by Gabe’s, ahem, drama (self-induced or otherwise) from last Spring.
Then Gabe came up with his Delta Blues mix and the executive committee of the Gutbucket Brothers voted to bring Brother Gabe aboard as an honorary Gutbucket Brother. This led to basically a half-failed attempt to merge both ideas, with the most respected concept being the introduction of new gutbucket artists. It eventually morphed into side 2, even dipping into as of yet unexplored gutbucket territory: gutbucket garage, further expanding the definition of the same.
However, our Dear Brother Gabe turned out to be a Gutbucket Half-Brother and left us hanging with pick 6 of disk 2, so the Executive Committee of the Gutbucket Brothers voted to complete the mix with the essence of Gabe, as interpreted by Brother Doowad.

The Chesterfield Kings, MC5, garage rolls over the Gutbuckets! Way to kick out the jams. Namaste, hemizen
Mmmm....So nasty!
Of course I love the Buddy Guy, Albert Collins and The Captain.
Also, that's my favorite Blind Willie McTell song! Nice closer too.
Disgustingly great guys!
Shouldn't the mixes be "Cheek 1" and "Cheek 2"? I mean, a butt = two cheeks, after all

For some reason, looking at the playlist of this makes me feel like I've got cirrhosis. And I actually mean that in a good way, believe it or not. It just looks like the kind of mix you'd listen to while downing a bottle (or three) of whiskey...
