In The Meat Puppets and the Lyrics of Curt Kirkwood from Meat
Puppets II to No Joke!, Matthew Smith-Lahrman sheds light on the
words of Curt Kirkwood, founding member and songwriter of the Meat
Puppets, a pioneering rock 'n' roll band of the last forty years.
Smith-Lahrman covers Kirkwood's lyrics on nine albums, from 1983 to
1995, when he wrote virtually every lyric for the band. A lyricist
whom Rolling Stone writer Kurt Loder once rated alongside Bob
Dylan, Kirkwood remains an important, yet overlooked songwriter.
The original Meat Puppets spent their early career releasing albums
on the seminal indie rock label SST Records, moving on to the major
label London Records in the early 1990s. Along the way they forged
a unique blend of punk, country, psychedelic, and hard rock that
paved the way for the grunge and alternative movements. As a
lyricist, Kirkwood commonly addresses the individual psyche and
behavioral expectations, drug use, mental illness, and
Christianity. As the original Meat Puppets began to dissolve,
Kirkwood turned to writing about personal issues: his frustrations
with the major label industry, the death of his mother, the
addictions of his brother, and the demise of the band itself. The
Meat Puppets and the Lyrics of Curt Kirkwood from Meat Puppets II
to No Joke! is the perfect work for Meat Puppets fans worldwide.
