The December 15 Onion ran a lovely piece on yours truly, classic beer songs
and the latest Singing 12-Pack from me and my mates at Oskar Blues.

"Full Boar is the audio equivalent of moonshine. The disc's 38 minutes are pure hillbilly goodness, music that sounds better with each sudsy draft, each square dance." - Virginian Pilot
"Full Boar is 180 proof honkytonk. True hard-luck music that swings like the ol' country of Johnny Cash and Buck Owens." - Ninevolt
"Full Boar is a hit here, the phones are ringing off the hook for it." - KVCU/Radio 1190
"Denver's eternally grinning granddaddy of campy, bare-bones, barn-burnin' hick rock is back." - Full Boar review, Westword
"Full Boar is ultimate beer drinking music." - All About Beer Magazine
"I can't stand pop "country", which has become a boy band-inspired parody of real western music. You guys play my kind of country, your version of "Sweet Emotion" is a blast." - Brandon Tucker, Brew Guild
"Great CD!" - XM Satellite Radio
"The most original set of songs I've heard in a long time. Full Boar totally rocks!" - Neil Parthun
"You guys are the coolest, funniest act in this town. " Lannie Garrett
"Top-10 Country Record of the Year. This independent release drips energy, good times and great music."Bluegrassabilly" comes close [to describing the band's sound] but ignores a couple of fine '50's love-and-beer ballads written and sung to perfection by Jones." - Debut CD review, Ed Will, Denver Post
"Marty Jones & the Pork Boilin' Poor Boys are not quite your grandfather's bluegrass; their self-titled, self-released debut is as likely to appeal to a fan of the Dead Kennedy's as it is to a fan of dead fingerpickers... It's bound to appeal to any city fool with a beer-drinking, backwoods heart." - Sarah Lawlor, New Times Los Angeles
"Top Local CD. Maybe, just maybe, the best drunken party record since 1966's "Double Shot of My baby's Love" by the Swinging Medallions." - 5280 Magazine, Denver, Colorado
"This CD delivers 24 minutes of more fun than the law allows." - Eric Feber, the Virginian Pilot, Norfolk, Virginia
"A wonderful concise collection of down-home humor and slow-cooked country...the fun-filled hillbilly quartet never lets silliness detract from its serious task: dismantling country stereotypes with wit and gusto." - Jeff Stratton, the Onion.
"'Come On In' is the song of the year in my dorm." - Damien Jumelais, Brittany, France
"Your band's good-time, party vibe means your disc is not the sort of thing I'll be reviewing." (name withheld), No Depression
"Damn, what a great record. I hate you." - John Murray, Norfolk, Virginia
"As with a half dozen or so other all-time favorite discs, I find myself listening to this glorified silver-&-shiny 45 three and four times at a whack, back to back." - Steve Sabatini, Denver, Colorado
"This is great stuff! Despite my Harvard environs, I find myself twirling a jig and looking for a homebrew. "Too Much Talk" is a classic, a lifetime song." - Alex Marshall, Cambridge, Massuchusetts
"When I was just a little shaver - 55 or 60 years ago - my family had a cabin down there in the beautiful Ozark "boonies'. I remember watching my mom and dad dancing to some real "shit-kickin'" hillbilly music in the old tavern. Songs like "Come On In', "Old Lady","Too Much Talk (Too Little Drinkin')" and all the others bring back a lot of fun times to me. Thank you for the enjoyment you bring to us." - Harry & Joan Reime, Belleville, Illinois
"Son, you sound a little flat on one of the songs." - Esther Barham, Marty Jones's mom.
