Butler Leacock, FRS Behind the Beyond is a Canadian literature collection by Stephen Leacock consisting of a truly funny burlesque on the typical modern problem play, followed by humorous sketches of various subjects. At this point I don’t think we will see a resurgence of The Mother Hips to a bigger audience but with consistent records like Behind Beyond it still makes them a band to check out after all these years.Behind the Beyond is a Canadian literature collection by Stephen Leacock consisting of a truly funny burlesque on the typical modern problem play, followed by humorous sketches of various subjects. The songs are a bit longer as the record’s 10 songs runs 51 minutes but the tracks never lag.

A musical tightrope that gives the bluesy jammer “Hey Emilie”, off their debut, grit while 2001’s Green Hills Of Earth more power pop leanings provided excellent results. Going back into The Mother Hips history the group has always attempted to create a Grateful Dead meets The Rolling Stones with a sprinkle of the Beatles vibe. The Mother Hips strong songwriting once again helps boost Behind Beyond like on “Jefferson Army” as the fictional fight against California is staged and includes lines like “we saw Red Dawn / we will fight on / they doubled crossed us / they won’t out fox us.” The slow burner is one of the longer songs on the album at almost six minutes but leaves a lasting impression with its strong groove, hard rock edges and dependable smooth vocals. When the group comes together and sings “get it while you can / man is not the man / wrapped up in your fantasy / back into the ocean” the song surrounds you with its 70’s warmth. This sound comes through right from the rolling strums on opener “The Isle Not Of Man” as the Hammond organ plays in the background as Tim Bluhm’s quiet and floating lead vocals fill your speakers with The Mother Hips smoothness.
