James Mathus made his name playing kitchen-sink ragtime with North Carolina's Squirrel Nut Zippers, but beneath that dapper zoot suit beats the heart of a Mississippi mauler with tobacco in his cheek and a porch beneath his boots. Dirty, Southern- fried, and gritty as the river that takes its name from Mathus's home state, National Antiseptic is pure blooze rawk powered by whorehouse keyboards and greasy guitar, and peopled with drunks, losers, highly questionable menu items and, of course, those infamous Southern women for whom a fret-burning corker such as the Knockdown Society's "Call Your Dawgs Off" is as close to a love-song dedication as they'll ever get. Second cousins of the similarly raunchy Southern Culture on the Skids, Knockdown Society's National Antiseptic scores one for Delta backwaters with a wink and a hefty dose of boogie. Somewhere, a pickup truck with a gun-rack has found its soundtrack. --Kim Hughes
