Ween is a pretty good little American alternative band that has managed to make a living in the music business for around 25 years without most people ever hearing of them. I'll be honest, I was only familiar with them as they had popped up on a few movie soundtracks that had interested me, etc. They've never been tied down to any particular style of music, and have released tracks sounding anywhere from 60s psychedelic rock, punk, acoustic rock, soul, country, etc. It's always been two main dudes who have been friends since they were kids and then they have put together different backing bands over the years based upon what they are doing at the time. My favorite of their reincarnations was when they decided to put together an impressive line-up of Nashville studio musicians and cranked out a full album of new songs that all sound like fairly classic American country music, called 12 Golden Country Greats. The track below, "Piss Up a Rope," is a good, old-fashioned, can't-stand-my-woman rant in the country spirit. Enjoy.
