{"product_id":"americana-4","title":"Americana","description":"This is an Enhanced audio CD, which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.\u003cbr\u003eOffspring: Dexter Holland (vocals, guitar); Noodles (guitar, background vocals); Greg K (bass); Ron Welty (drums).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: John Mayer, Higgins \"X-13\", Heidi Villagran, Nika Futterman Frost (vocals); Calvert \"Larry Bud Melman\" DeForest (spoken vocals); Derrick Davis (flute); Gabe McNair, Phil Jordan (horns); Jack Grisham, Davey Havok, Jim Lindberg (background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eMariachi Campestre: Carlos Gomez (guitar); Raul Garibay (guitaron); Miguel Gonzales (violin); Pedro Pina (trumpet); Alvaro Macias (bihuela).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Eldorado Recording Studio, Burbank, California.\u003cbr\u003eAMERICANA continues the contradiction fostered by the Offspring with IXNAY ON THE HOMBRE; that of an anarchistic punk band signing up with and using the resources of a mighty recording industry monolith. Diatribes aside, these southern California punks have continued concocting breakneck-paced songs that combine intelligent lyrics with rapid-fire rhythms and shredding guitar.\u003cbr\u003eGoing beyond their punk credentials means the Offspring mix in a few curves that keep the listener guessing. \"Why Don't You Get A Job\" uses horns and a steel drum to underline misgivings about awarding alimony for either sex. \"Pay the Man\" uses Middle Eastern chord changes to achieve an Arabic feel that eventually gives way to a punkier arrangement. Even on\"Feelings,\" the schmaltzy lounge lizard anthem, Dexter Holland's style of spitting out the words gives the slight number new life. The cleverly wrought \"Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)\" looks at white kids emulating an inner-city life style through the prism of daytime talk shows. Despite this experimentation, the Offspring cling to their punk roots with a steadfast determination that defines songs dealing with the pitfalls of growing up in the '90s (\"The Kids Aren't Alright\") and the emotional baggage brought into relationships (\"She's Got Issues\").","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915075473695,"sku":"5099749165625","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/5ea176badffdef886cf6c6324fe20889.jpg?v=1777736662","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/americana-4","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
