Shirley Gnome: Real Mature

StarStarStarStar

"Totally filthy, satirical country music about sex."

Totally filthy, satirical country music about sex. What more could anyone want?

With just a guitar and a vulgar tongue, this hour-long set contains explicit songs whose topics range from glittery vaginas to bleached assholes — there really is nothing like it. Gnome has an electric energy that's totally infectious, and it's obvious to everyone that she's just up there having a whale of a time with each word that comes out of her mouth — made obvious by the frequent laughing at her own jokes and just a general bubbly nature that is impossible not to love.
