From the liner notes:
"Blaggardy songs" Jim Garland called these celebrations of errant character. His term is an Appalachian derivative of "blackguard" and the population of these songs largely embraces personalities of impossibly mean disposition. Much found on this album is described from a first- person vantage; it seems that the joy of their performance lies in the temporary adoption of a mask of outrageous countenance. Therefore although outre sexual behavior is the order of the day here, this lp is fashioned less as a collection of the bawdy than of the iconoclastic. However, although some are only sweetly naughty, concerned parents and radio broadcasters will probably prefer to avoid its flagitious core, for nothing here has been censored.
