  • Description

  • Tracklist
  • “The Shaggs are like castaways on their own musical island” – Bonnie Raitt
    “The Shaggs convince me that they’re the real thing when they sing” – Jonathan Richman
    “They bring my mind to a complete halt” – Carla Bley

    When The Shaggs’ Philosophy Of The World came out in 1969, some people couldn’t or wouldn’t understand it. But many musicians, including Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain, cited the Shaggs as a major influence. Heck, Zappa exclaimed they were “better than the Beatles!” NRBQ’s Terry Adams and Keith Spring were such fans, and after reissuing Philosophy in 1980 on their own Red Rooster label, Adams began work on a collection of recordings the Wiggin sisters had made in the years following their debut. The result was Shaggs’ Own Thing – a beguiling follow-up that reveals a more developed and mature sound while still retaining all of their homespun uniqueness.
