Frustration Plantation, the fourth studio album recorded by cello-dominated rock group Rasputina, was released by Instinct Records on March 16, 2004. While not exactly a concept album, Frustration Plantation does have many songs darkly relating to women's lives in the Old South.

A prominent track is "If Your Kisses Can't Hold the Man You Love," a saucy cabaret number written by Vivian Ellis and Jack Yellen, popularized by Sophie Tucker.
