I think that's part of the attraction for people. It's not prepped and packaged. 

The musicianship is not tops but the voice is very soulful and expressive. 

My ears aren't so good so I had to look up the lyrics to follow them:

“Well God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds/ Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.”

This doesn't sound down-the-middle-against-division; are rich men north of Richmond pro welfare or pro tax cuts?
