Licensed to Eel

It's now exactly 20 years since the release of the seminal folk rap album "Licensed to Eel" from Norfolk's infamous "Eastie Boys".

The joke of "Licensed to Eel's" cover--that the Easties could crash their tractor into the side of a mountain and keep on tickin'-- serves as a good metaphor for a career that even some of their 1988 admirers thought might be over after the one-time-only shock of this full-length debut.

"License to Eel" is rural, obnoxious, and sometimes offensive by today's PC standards, but if you can take it with a grain of salt, it's also fun to listen to, it was the first rap album all about beet farming, whittling, and disrespecting the Archers.

Even after all this time the songs haven't dated that much and are still influencing the music of today. Yes the Easties may have calmed down over the years but it's always nice to take a trip back to the 'Good Ole Days' when they shook the world and taught it how to party!

So bang it on turn up the volume and revisit those classic tracks "Rhymin & Peelin", "Slow And Lowestoft", "Time To Get Eel", "Slow Ride (stuck behind a caravan)" and of course the classic "No Sleep Till King's Lynn". Every song the grooves, the samples, perfect.
