Carman's 20 Capitol sides, which never appeared on LP. "Hillbilly Hula" is
the best track here, both instrumentally and vocally, and no words can
adequately describe its brittle textures and lunatic meter, or Carman's twangy
hillbilly singing on this number. His singing is strictly backwoods primitive,
and his playing is downright weird throughout -- check out "Hilo March" and
the ultra-strange "Samoa Stomp" (Pidgin Samoan words with a hillbilly twang and
completely, delightfully off-kilter slide playing), which gets even stranger
juxtaposed with "Dixie Cannon Ball." And maybe the most haywire stuff here is
Carman's attempts at conventional country balladry, such as "My Lonely Heart
and I," where his limited, nasal voice almost sounds like a parody of traditional
country. The whole thing is like some eerie Hawaiian/country delirium, but also
great fun, and the CD includes three songs that went unreleased until 1991.
