Continuing to document the music that’s keeping me going through one of the worst bouts of jetlag I’ve ever made it through, allow me to present the Hoosier Hotshots, who combined incredibly silly comedy lyrics, klezmer-inflected country swing (yes, that’s what I said), and some of the hottest musical breakdowns you’ve ever heard. Above, the Hotshots perform “She Broke My Heart in Three Places,” which partakes of the aforementioned comedy lyrics. Below, the insanely hot all-instrumental high-speed “Skeleton Rag.” You can acquire pretty much the whole significant Hotshots catalog on a two disc set for $18.15 at Amazon. Also, just look at this banana song.
