This week Pepperoni picked Slipknot again

“Hello all my fellow midwesterners. How about about a good ol’ Iowa band pick this week? This one is the 2001 album from bluegrass band Slipknot named after their beautiful state of Iowa (I hear they play the state fair there every year, and they have their own butter cow there too!) As you can see on the cover, Slipknot loves farm animals that come from their state. Iowa is actually an agricultural powerhouse in the U.S. – and is responsible for being a leading producer of much of the nation’s corn, pork, eggs, and biofuels. Slip-knot (a which is a band made up of boy scouts that decided to name their band after their favorite knot they had to tie), love their state so much that they wrote this beautiful album as a tribute. Enjoy!”
