In reality, they sound closer to the ultra-gimmicky one-hit wonders Tenpole Tudor: three-chord bubblegum-punk that occasionally throws in a set of bagpipes or essays a traditional tune for color. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because the Real McKenzies deliver the goods with unpretentious charm and a refreshing sense of humor on Oot \u0026amp; Aboot. Sly, sassy songs like \"Cross the Ocean\" and \"Shit Outta Luck\" hit the same pleasure centers as the goofier songs on the mid-period Replacements songs (\"Gary's Got a Boner\" or \"I Don't Know,\" for example). So it's not really all that folksy, except for the surprisingly trad closing instrumental, \"Taylor Made,\" but it's fun. ~ Stewart Mason","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48440413323551,"sku":"618427004428","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/f542cff6572f4ec075b4fc3f37c71508.jpg?v=1777939065","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/oot-aboot-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
