notes

Winner of the 2006 Just Plain Folks Best Celtic Album Award, Liver Let Die is the fourth CD released by the Poxy Boggards -- the drinking group with a singing problem.

The disc contains original and traditional songs of drinking and revelry and has been lauded as the high-water mark thus far.

The Poxy Boggards were founded in 1993 in a shabby apartment in Long Beach, California. It was an excuse to sing, drink and flirt with women at the local Renaissance Faire.

From their earliest performances, the Poxy Boggards became known for their rich, robust, raucous harmonies. Many a traditional tune has been reinvented with the Boggard sound, and their original music makes a rich -- albeit irreverent -- addition to the body of American West Coast folk music.

Fifteen years and five CDs later, the Boggards continue to shock and delight audiences in the Southern California Area.

    I don't usually shop online. But CD Baby is awsome! I got my CD's quick and easy and I have been singing myself silly ever since! Poxy Boggards are some very talented and very funny group of guys! I will be on the look out for more Poxy from now on....just need more cash!

    Love, Love, Love you guys! I just moved from So. Cal. to the Northwest and had to take you with me!

  • I love these guys!
    author: Andrea/Melody Underpitch

    Many years of Ren Faire and many repetitions of these songs have still not spoiled them for me. I am a harmony junky, and the Boggarts definitely get it.

  • Great!
    author: Jayde

    Great music for carousing! I love the Boggards!

  • Another Must Have CD from a Great Group of Guys
    author: Yodasquid

    This is most excellant CD, funny and entertaining, will keep you laughing and laughing.....

  • Play it after the kids are in bed
    author: Stephanie O'Rourke

    I heard the Boggards at Faire and was so enthusiastic a friend bought me Liver or Let Die. I played a portion for my father over the telephone. Short pause. "Can I have two of those?" he said. Contagious is not the word for this, but it's a good start. There are the Usual Warning Songs (wait until the children are in bed to play, because they are just as bawdy as everyone says they are. Really. Use headphones if there are small kids in the house.) There are also several beautiful ballads, such as Galway Shawl, that will make you look at the cover just to make sure this is the correct group. Good drunk, sober, or whatever other state you can get yourself into. Get two or three for Christmas presents. You won't regret it.

  • A "must have" of the Poxy Boggards cd collection.
    author: Renaissance Fair Favorite

    I would go on a lot more, yet time wise (something called "outside" beconds this fine afternoon) and typing space wise, I would have to keep it short. So, besides their other CD's this is one "must have" of the Poxy Boggards cd collection.

  • i really enjoyed this cd
    author: kurt schoenborn

    i really enjoyed this cd. this cd is great fun. although it contains adult content that's part of its appeal.

  • Loved the CD, prudes be damned.
    author: Vic W.

    Great fun we play Irish music in the Pub style and this CD tickled our roots no end ,They have added to the tradition and that is what music needs not only playing old favorites but give something to the future too,

  • Unexpected, but fantastic
    author: JonP

    I had heard a couple of songs off a different CD on Dr. Demento and I kind of thought this was a joke of a band. Boy was I wrong. This CD is really professional and tight. I tried looking up the studio that made it and found nothing, but still it sounds as good as any commercial record I have heard and it blows away any independant recording not to mention folk music records. This has some of the best fiddle playing/mixing I've ever heard and ballads that hit you in the gut. These guys are going to be huge.

  • One of my favorite albums.
    author: RPM

    I think it's their best work yet (which is high praise since all their albums are great.) It's also a lot of fun to play the last four songs just a little too loud.

  • Worth the price just for "I Wear No Pants!"
    author: Laura

    Ever since I heard "I Wear No Pants" at the Southern California Renaissance Faire I've wanted that song on CD and now I have it! At nearly an hour of musical entertainment (including a hidden track) this CD is a great deal. Many songs will make you laugh, a few may make you cry, and most of them should NOT be heard by children. But for the bawdy-minded, Renaissance-loving lord or lady this CD is worth a listen.

  • Still Chugging Along
    author: Skippy

    I waited with baited breath for the latest from the Boggards. Compared to the previous three CDs, (My two favorite CDs are Lager Than Life and Bawdy Parts), Liver Let Die is good, but I think it strays a bit too far from their Renaissance origins. Don't get me wrong, I love Irish music and Sea Chanties, and I really enjoy listening to Liver Let Die. There is a vast catalog of bawdy music from the 16th-18th Centuries that hasn't been tapped yet by the Boggards, and I hope they open that tap and drink deeply from it.

  • Best of the bunch, but don't ignore the other CDs...
    author: Quin the Lame

    Ok, sure, you know that The Poxy Boggards are funny, but I think this is their best album yet. Yep, I said album since I'm an old fogey. The last 4 tracks are not for kids, or to be listened to around kids.

  • Best one yet!
    author: Kethraj

    Hilarious songs! Great for making people laugh when stuck in traffic by blasting "I wear no pants"!

  • Great collection of songs
    author: Mel

    This CD has a great collection of styles and songs on it. Even those who know little of folk music will enjoy this one! With songs ranging from extreemly dirty to beautiful melodies that bring a tear to your eye, there is something for EVERYONE on this Cd... well except the kids. Keep them far far away!

  • Boggards at their boisterous best
    author: Dr Mikee

    Liver Let Die includes a nice mix of powerful and well crafted traditionally styled folk and sea chanty tunes, and the outrageouly bawdy comedy songs the group is better known for. The singing is right where it should be for each of the tunes, serious and tightly woven, or lusty and bold. When they warn you on the album (A Warning, cut 15), that its time for the kids to leave, BELIEVE IT. From that point on, its tits to the wind!
