Liner notes
Get hip to the trip of a brand new flip! Deja Voodoo's gone into their dirt-floored basement studio, done that Voodoo thing, and emerged with this 22-song LP, their first full-length LP in over two years. Hear the Voodoo boys turn their sludgy talents to a whole mess of blues, gospel, punk, country, rockabilly, garage rock 'n' roll, R&B and more to come up with their biggest chunk yet of what they call "Sludgeabilly."
