Review of
Bawdy
Songs & Backroom Ballads, by Oscar Brand
Two out of five stars
While the songs
in this collection are entertaining and are as bawdy and crude as the cover
suggests, the problem is that you generally need a microscope to read the
lyrics. In order to verify that the songs were as crude as claimed, I was
forced to use a search engine to find the words. They were entertaining and it
is easy to imagine a group of men loaded with drink singing the songs in as
close to unison as such a collection can manage. Too bad the book is largely
unintelligible.
