Here's a video review from Stereogum back in 2007: "Set in a Chinese restaurant, the foot stomping, kung-fu fighting video for all-gal bluegrass quartet Uncle Earl’s John Paul Jones-produced 'Streak O’ Lean, Streak O’ Fat' is one of the more jarring cultural blends we’ve encountered recently. In a totally good, weird, Zeppelin-related way. The band doesn’t fight — that’s left for various hollaback girls (and boys). They stand amidst it all with shit-eating grins, shouting Chinese over old-timey fiddles and loopy Raymond Scott sound effects, until it’s time to school the karate choppers with Western dancing. We’re not making this up…" Produced by Brad Paul for Rounder Records (2007) Edited & Color Corrected by Tom Krueger & Cutter Hodierne Sound Design by Tom Paul Dance Audio by Tom Paul & Kristin Andreassen Note: This video was originally posted by Rounder Records in 2007. When the video was inadvertently deleted, the hi-res version was lost to the ages. But thanks to Josh Larios and Peter Keller, we've recovered this medium-res version to share. Enjoy!
