BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS interview and video
BB Wolf & the Three LPs by Elisabeth@TFAW This week, Top Shelf Month is singing the blues! Not that we're depressed, mind you–how could we be, with such a hilarious interview with JD Arnold and Richard Koslowski, creators of BB Wolf and the Three LPs ? Here, the blues are strictly of the story and music variety, as the classic tale of The Three Little Pigs is recast in the 1920s South as a yarn about racial intolerance and oppression. BB Wolf is a family man just trying to hold onto his farm, but the greedy Littlepig clan will stop at nothing to grab BB's land. This sets up an epic tale of revenge, as BB Wolf finds every last Littlepig who done him wrong . . . and does a heckuva lot more than blow their houses down! Read more
