Contents Dislodged During Shipment CD (1979)
 $11.59  
The group's only album is an intriguing and curious arty entity that often shows the influence of Frank Zappa's jazzy numbers, particularly in selections such as "Pink Berets," "Squirm You Worm," and "Coronation." The songs here are often multisectional (at times fragmentedly so) and give ample jazz-oriented solo opportunities to reedman Ralph Carney. The marriage was doomed from the start, but this album was its wonderfully weird offspring, here reissued for the first time on CD with new notes containing extensive quotes from the band members.
Tin Huey came from the same fertile Ohio scene that spawned the experimental new wave bands Pere Ubu, Devo, and Human Switchboard. Full Title - Contents Disloged During Shipping. The lyrics run a wide gamut, ranging from the blue-collar, down-to-earth "Hump Day" to the wildly surreal "Puppet Wipes." "Slide" is a jaunty, strutting, blues-influenced number with cock-of-the-walk verses. Led by horn player Ralph Carney, keyboardist Harvey Gold and Waitress-to-be Chris Butler, Tin Huey put post-punk, free jazz, art rock and even blues into a Dadaist vaudeville stage show that somehow got them signed to Warner Brothers in the late-'70s. "New York's Finest Dining Experience" counts funk among its grab bag of styles. This challenging yet good-natured release will most likely appeal to listeners with somewhat more adventurous tastes. The group's members scattered to other bands after this release, with Chris Butler's Waitresses being the most successful of these ventures. There's also a power pop cover of the Neil Diamond-penned Monkees hit "I'm a Believer" that owes something to the Motors. Some of the most challenging and adventurous bands of the American underground-Devo, Pere Ubu, the Electric Eels-have hailed from there, and this band, Tin Huey, stands tall on that list. What is it about northeastern Ohio?
