Reverend Horton Heat Artist Snapshot:

Like P J Harvey and Alice Cooper, Reverend Horton Heat is a band, although singer/guitarist/guiding light Jim Heath also goes by that moniker. The trio's music centers on Heath's lupine punkabilly guitar riffs (including his trademark "Hurricane" lick, on which he plays lead and rhythm at the same time), charismatic vocals, and funny lyrics. The band started out in the mid 1980s, and their sweaty, famously over-the-top live shows attracted the attention of Sub Pop, who released their first two acclaimed albums. The band was picked up by Interscope for their next three albums and dropped by the end of the millennium, after which the reverend and his boys made their own indie way.

Review

(Jan./Feb.,1992) - "...Live to 2-track in the studio, this is so fresh, clean and gimmick free I hardly remembered what real rock & roll sounded like....Surf-roots guitar evil at its best..."

Title Note

Personnel: Reverend Horton Heat (vocals, guitar); The Psychic Plowboy Horn Section (horns); Hook Herrera (harmonica); Tim Alexander (piano); Jim Wallace (acoustic bass, background vocals); Patrick "Taz" Bentley (drums, background vocals).

Includes liner notes by Carson Langtry.

Recorded live in the studio, direct to a vintage two-track tape machine, the debut by The Reverend Horton Heat smokes like a classic '50s rockabilly session seasoned with a healthy dash of post-punk mayhem. Not as slick as the Stray Cats, as schtick-filled as the Cramps, as traditional as Flat Duo Jets, or as crazed as Hasil Adkins, The Reverend Horton Heat is his own special brand of rockabilly cat.

The Rev, stand-up bassist Jim Wallace, and drummer Taz Bentley's fiery, noisy playing blow apart any notion of polite revivalism, while such song titles as "Eat Steak," "Big Dwarf Rodeo," and the aptly titled rave-up "Psychobilly Freakout" show that this is not your father's rockabilly. SMOKE 'EM IF YOU GOT 'EM is a classic of the form that should appeal even to those who aren't usually rockabilly fans.
