So this is obviously a joke recording of some kind, but the music is not all silliness. Its more satire than goofball comedy. I’m not sure who the Loopy Dwadlers are, but it appears that Lefty is John R. Williamson (since he wrote most of the songs). Chad Bryant Edmundson and David Finley are pictured on the front cover, so they would be a good guess as to the identities of the Loopy Dwadlers. The sound here is the acoustic folk style that you find on many other Sonic Hope Recordings. They bring in some random sounds here and there, from drum machines to a cappella numbers.
