"i love this album...but am deeply in love with love marble hoe-down (their first album ) most.. i don't know about this album, but "love marble hoedown" is cheeper at homegrown music network...not only that but they also game me a free sampler cd...and i got to support someone other than the ferocious amazon monster...don't get me wrong though..much love and respect to crazy monsters.

again great album here...oh, yoo poopy hedz can get the recipe and LOTS of legit legal live shows from archive.org/audio by consent of the artists which include a buttload ... numero uno being the one, the only, the grateful dead.

can't say enough about it ... except that also i received a free sampler disc of bands as well when i ordered from homegrown music network. support the scene ya silly jelly bean."

"Night of the Porch People is The Recipe's second album and is a quantum leap forward from their debut release, Love Marble Hoe-Down, in both production and performance. The songs are catchier and there's a confidence present that you don't hear on their debut. The production is clearer as well and is a better representation of their awesome live show. This is very apparent on the first two tracks, the fast paced "Affected Specimen" and the catchy "Playground Bellyflop", both of which practically leap out of the speakers. Joe Prichard and Kristen Wolverton's vocals mesh very well, whether it's on the pop meets hippie vibe of "Bonemeal" and "World Swirl" or a more somber track like "Marigold." Mark Rapson's fiddle playing is a highlight throughout, providing great color to tracks like the moody "A Little Yellow Pepper" and the country-rock of "Whiskey Pickle." Other strong tracks here include "Amoonda", which has a cool shuffle feel, and the mid-tempo "Duke of Stealy." Other tracks like "Wrecking Ball", "Luna Parade", and "Sibling Revelry" are also very good. I would recommend this album, along with their even stronger followup release, Geode, to anyone. However, to get the full Recipe experience, you have to pick up their live album, All You Can Eat, or better yet, go see them live. No touring band puts on a show like the Recipe. See them. It will be one of the best live shows you'll ever witness."

"This is the only album that I had from The Recipe. It blends in humor, rock/bluegrass music, and many other strange ideas. I wish I still had it, but I lent it to a galpal. Oh well, I'll get again soon. I highly recommend it, for those who love weird things."
