Review
Raunchy southern rock on their third album, "Say Something
Nasty" And that they do! With songs such as "The Bi**h
just Kicked Me Out" & "Gonna Hitchhike To Cincinnati
And Kick The S**t Outta Your Drunk Daddy". This Is music that
will keep a smile on your face and the volume turned down when the
preacher's around . And Ruyter (Lead Guitar) Can say something nasty
to me any times she wants. Influence's are: Anything deep fried
In Southern punk ass rock! HELL YA!!

Rock Revisited

Considering
that I haven't listened to Nashville Pussy's previous albums, I
can be completely objective and review Say Something Nasty for what
it is: kick-ass, whiskey-soaked, nicotine-stained, Nugent-meets-Skynyrd-meets-early-Stones-meets-AC/DC
HARD ROCK!!!! Damn, this one felt good! It just breaks my heart
to think that there are kids watching MTV right now who don't know
about Nashville Pussy.
Say
Something Nasty is 13 tracks of rip-snorting, sleazy rock n roll,
plus an intro about pussy as a lyrical topic and an instrumental
outro. The title track, "Gonna Hitchhike Down to Cincinnati
and Kick the Shit out of your Drunk Daddy" (yes, it's an actual
title), and "You Give Drugs a Band Name" had me thinking
of the best moments of Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever and AC/DC's
Powerage. Throw in a little Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pat Travers and early-to-mid
70s Rolling Stones and you've got Nashville Pussy. That's a lethal
combination, boys and girls. Hell, there's even a cover of Rick
Derringer's "Rock N Roll Hoochie Coo." I couldn't think
of a better song for this co-ed band to cover. Nashville Pussy even
knows how to weave mystery and subtlety into their song titles -
check out "Keep on Fuckin," "Here's to your Destruction,"
and "Jack Shack." Get it?
There's
hope for this generation yet, thanks to Nashville Pussy. In the
words of Ted Nugent: "Anybody wants to get mellow, you can
turn around and get the fuck outta here!!" I think I've said
enough. - Scott Alisogu

So sayeth the
intro: "Pussy. It's all about pussy." Have truer words
ever been slurred? While even more label juggling and the sudden
departure of fire-breathing Amazonian bassist Corey Parks might've
caused some anxiety within the pungent folds of Pussy's followers,
it's pretty clear from just perusing ...NASTY's song titles that
any distress has been a waste of time. "Jack Shack", "The
Bitch Just Kicked Me Out", "You Give Drugs A Bad Name"
and , hoo boy, "Gonna Hitchhike Down To Cincinnati And Kick
The Shit Outta Your Drunk Daddy" are not only clever in name,
but are musky minuets of sheer Southern rock genius, highlighted
as always by the husband and wife team of Blaine Cartwright (strums,
strangles and stink) and Ruyder Suys (asinine guitar noodling and
grand cannons cleavage). In the wake of Parks, a one-girl show in
herself (solo project? PLEASE?), replacement bassist Katielynn Campbell
has some mighty tall boots to fill - something I hope is more exciting
visually than it sounds here. The third in a sticky string of mindless
menses metal, ...NASTY is another chortle-packed gem from a band
with just enough chops, class and ass to keep them from being an
utter joke and more than enough tastelessness to keep them off the
accursed airwaves. Viva Los Snatchos!

Something Nasty Review by antiGUY at iconoMusic.com

Southern
rock is far from dead, it’s just a lot louder and well nastier than
ever before! After two years spent bringing their high voltage Skynyrd
meets AC/DC brand of rock n roll to the masses on the road, Nashville
Pussy return with the follow up to their 2000 studio album, “High
As Hell”. As the title, “Say Something Nasty”, suggest, what you
get is pure unrestrained Nashville Pussy!
You
know what you are in for with the opening of the record which proclaims,
“Pussy, it’s all about pussy / you gotta sing about pussy to get
money / you gotta get money so you can get pussy / and you gotta
get pussy so you can sing about it / and a record company that don’t
let you sing about pussy / ain’t your record company”. Perhaps that
last part is a jab at the band’s former label TVT records?
From
start to finish this album drips with Nashville Pussy’s infamous
nastiness, while others think of obscure ways to get their less
than pure message across, Nashville Pussy isn’t shy and put all
their cards on the table, for all to see. Ruyter is still the closest
thing you will find to a female Angus Young and Blaine gives the
band their raunch with his growling vocals.
“Say
Something Nasty” is sure to get your juices flowing and songs like
“Gonna Hitchhike Down To Cincinnati And Kick The Shit Outta Your
Drunk Daddy”, “The Bitch Just Kicked Me Out”, “Keep On Fuckin'”
and “Beat Me Senseless” more than live up to the band’s nasty past.
Highpoints include the bluesy rocker “You Give Drugs A Bad Name”,
a song that has been a showstopper for the band on the road and
is rumored to have been inspired by the group’s former bassist Corey
Parks.
If
anything this album takes things to a deeper level of degradation
and nastiness. But in the end it’s just plain old’ Nashville Pussy,
a band that gives Tipper Gore nightmares and rocks the hell out
of all they come across.

site review by Jeffery Jackson
I may be a little biased cause in my eyes there is really no other
rock band around today that comes close to Nashville Pussy. Today,
Finally I got the new CD. Half way through the songs now and I can
say this; After hearing a few of the songs live already, I definitely
like the way they work in the studio. Blaine sounds awesome in particular.
The songs sound great. Most importantly THEY KICK ASS...and what
else would you expect from this band? They give 200% at EVERY live
performance and it translates great in the studio. The album starts
off with a spoken word intro by some dude ranting about what else
but PUSSY. Then the opening riffs to "Say Something Nasty" starts
and you know right away that this album is gonna be classic Nashville
Pussy. This is one of THE best songs I've heard in a long time.
From beginning to end it holds your interest and sounds greeeat.
Most guitar parts in songs today bore the crap outta me...but the
guitar in this song alone makes you want more and more. "Drunk Daddy"
is cool live but i have to say that it's even better on the CD.
Blaine sings differently on parts of the song that sound really
COOL. On the "Bitch just kicked me out" the beat begins a faster
pace with more awesome guitars in it. The drums sound cool as fuck
too.
The
song "Here's to your destruction" has a kind of 'boogie woogie'
flavor to it that really shows that Ruyter can play anything she
wants to and play it like no other. If you have ever wondered why
NP fans are so intense and loyal to this band, just get a copy of
this CD and all your questions will be answered. Go see them live
and you too will be a follower for life.
Five
years into their career, Nashville Pussy are showing no signs of
maturing — which is great news for the fans. Say Something Nasty
is cut from the same cloth as its two predecessors, fusing garage-style
AC/DC boogie with a gleefully unrepentant embrace of white-trash
decadence. Although most of the songs are little more than a place
to hang gimmicky catch phrases like "You Give Drugs a Bad Name"
and "Keep on Fucking," the entire Nashville Pussy package,
taken as a whole, is satisfying just the same. Lead guitarist Ruyter
Suys emerges as the group's secret weapon here — her Angus Young-style
fretboard scrabbling raises the excitement level considerably —
while the absence of original bassist Corey Parks is virtually unnoticeable
on record (her physical presence and on-stage antics were Parks'
most memorable contributions to the band). Amidst all the decidedly
unmelodic noisemaking, "Here's to Your Destruction" —
smartly placed in the middle of the record — provides a refreshing
change of pace, featuring a heavy-handed take on Lynyrd Skynyrd-style
Southern boogie. Gloriously dumb fun. — Andy Hinds
