Dirty Country is a 2007 documentary film that tells the real-life story of Larry Pierce, a small-town factory worker and family man who happens to be the raunchiest country music singer in America. Since 1993, Larry has quietly released over a dozen dirty country albums at truck stops across the country. Without the time or money to pursue a "legitimate" career in country music, Larry is content to lead an ordinary life and moonlight as a dirty country singer. But when he is forced into early retirement at his factory job of 30 years, Larry faces an uncertain future. That is, until an unexpected turn of events thrusts his songs out of obscurity and into the spotlight.

Dirty Country introduces an ordinary man with an extraordinary gift for dirty music. The film also profiles several living legends of the raunchy music business, including piano virtuoso Dr. Dirty, rap pioneer Blowfly, and the original party band, Doug Clark’s Hot Nuts. With commentary from authors, experts and social critics, the film poses the question: is America a nation of prudes or are we living in a dirty country? Dirty Country is a peek into the underground phenomenon of raunchy songs, the people who write them, and the fans who have made dirty music such an enduring American tradition.

This is the feature directorial debut for Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, whose credits include The Onion and the Late Show with David Letterman. They are also the founders and hosts of the Found Footage Festival, a national touring comedy show that has brought them to the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, The HBO Comedy Festival at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and hundreds of sold-out venues across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Pickett and Prueher's short films, including Gas 'N Fuel and Saving Human Lives, have been featured on the Independent Film Channel and at film festivals across the country.

Dirty Country premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 14, 2007, where it won the 24 Beats Per Second Audience Award. It is currently touring on the film festival circuit.

Larry Pierce has been championed by Howard Stern on his Sirius radio show. His songs could not be played due to their content on his previous radio show.

Popular music of the 1960s was dominated by young bands like The Beach Boys, The Mamas & the Papas, Jan and Dean, and The Monkees. Listening to rock and roll on jukeboxes and car radios created devoted fans of these groups, whose music communicated the optimism and sorrow of a generation contending with strong countercultural forces.

The film has a very thin plot which is no more than a vehicle to link together the concert footage. It concerns the adventures of Ashley Wallace (Robert Hughes), a naïve DJ on Radio 2TW, who normally presents a through-the-night country and western-themed show. In spite of this, he is sent by the station's boss (Bruce Barry) to get an in-depth interview ("Not an interview, a dialogue", demands his boss) with the group, which is to be aired on the day ABBA leave Australia. Needless to say, Ashley, who has never done an interview before, singularly fails, mainly because he has forgotten to pack his press card, although the fact that he is unable to buy a ticket doesn't help matters either. Armed with his trusty reel-to-reel tape recorder, Ashley is forced to follow the group all over Australia, beginning in Sydney, and then travelling, in order, to Perth, Adelaide, and Melbourne, experiencing repeated run-ins with the group's very protective bodyguard (Tom Oliver), as well as his increasingly exasperated boss. Throughout the movie, we see Ashley interviewing members of the public, asking them if and why they like ABBA. Almost all the comments are positive, but he interviews a man who is driven mad by his ABBA-obsessed twelve-year-old, and another girl who thinks ABBA are over-the-top.
