Southern Culture On The Skids Artist Snapshot:

Led by singer/guitarist Rick Miller, North Carolina band Southern Culture on the Skids has been serving up a raw, rowdy combo platter of rockabilly, garage rock, blues, country, and a dash of punk since the 1980s. They released their self-titled debut album in 1986, and over the next decade their greasy, gritty sound earned them a big enough audience to land a major-label deal. After recording DIRT TRACK DATE and PLASTIC SEAT SWEAT for Geffen, though, it was back to the indies, where the band's loose 'n' loud approach is probably best appreciated anyhow.

Review

Alternative Press (12/95, p.98) - "...here is a neat little rockabilly outfit, who know more than a tad about the history of the genre....they have a lot more in common with the Blasters than the Beverly Hillbillies....They know their way 'round a good twang, and Rick Miller can hit a whammy bar with the best of them..."
Magnet (p.115) - "[W]hen it comes to the music, this band is as deadly as a switchblade."

Title Note

Southern Culture On The Skids: Rick Miller (vocals, guitar, tambourine); Mary Huff (vocals, bass, organ, handclaps); David Hartman (vocals, drums, maracas, percussion).

Additional personnel: Michael Lipton (lap steel guitar); Soul City Singers (background vocals).

Producers: Mark Williams, Southern Culture On The Skids.

Recorded at Reflection Sound Studios, Charlotte, North Carolina.

For its second major-label release, 1995's DIRT TRACK DATE, the brilliantly named trio sticks to its knitting, maintaining the high-octane mix of raucous rockabilly, R&B, and punk influences that made albums like 1994's DITCH DIGGIN' so exciting. On the scorching title track and on such unapologetic anthems as "White Trash," "Fried Chicken And Gasoline," and "Eight-Piece Box," Southern Culture on the Skids singer/guitarist Rick Miller's songs continue to examine the subtleties of rural Southern culture.

In other hands, these lyrical preoccupations might seem like heavy-handed satire or mean-spirited attacks. But Miller, bassist/organist Mary Huff, and drummer David Hartman-most assuredly not the former GOOD MORNING AMERICA host-obviously know and respect the region and its people. The songs are humorous celebrations of, as the band name suggests, a vanishing culture. More importantly, this album smokes.
