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

Rolling Stone (6/16/94, p.109) - 3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - "...a beguiling stew of retro sounds that might best be summed up as surfabilly.... Inhabiting a world in which food, lovin' and dancin' are the primary concerns, DITCH DIGGIN' is good, greasy fun...."

Title Note

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

Additional personnel: Doug Easley (lap steel guitar); Roy Brewer (fiddle); Jim Apake (saxophone).

Producers: Southern Culture On The Skids, Dave Schmitt, Doug Easley.

Engineers: Doug Easley, Davis McCain, Dave Schmitt.

Recorded at Easley Studios, Memphis, Tennessee and S.C.O.T.S. Sound Shack, Orange County, North Carolina.

On its full-length debut, North Carolina trio Southern Culture on the Skids develops a high-octane mix of raucous rockabilly, R&B, surf, and punk influences that is unique and wildly exciting. From the most attractive HEE-HAW honey on the front cover-actually bassist/organist Mary Huff-to singer/guitarist Rick Miller's knowing, sly lyrics, DITCH DIGGIN' examines the subtleties of rural Southern culture with such unapologetic anthems as "Too Much Pork For Just One Fork," the delirious "Put Your Teeth Up On The Window Sill," and "My House Has Wheels."

In less skillful hands, these lyrical preoccupations might seem like heavy-handed satire or mean-spirited attacks. But Miller, Huff, and drummer David Hartman, helped by kindred spirit/producer Doug Easley, obviously know and respect the region and its people. The songs are humorous celebrations of, as the brilliant band name suggests, a vanishing culture. More importantly, DITCH DIGGIN' just flat-out smokes.
