If I were ever in a death race situation, a real no-holds-barred, to-the-victor-go-the-spoils
event, I'd be foolish not to choose Reverend Horton Heat as my soundtrack music.
If I were entering a drag race to win the hand of some girl or prove some ill-fated
point, The Rev would be my co-pilot, no contest. His music just makes me want
to drive fast and recklessly. Evoking the ghost of Dick Dale (yeah, I know he's
not dead but have you seen him lately?) and a hell host of rockabilly fury,
Jim Heath's super reverbed-out hollow body guitars are like nails on a chalkboard
to non-believers. Although this album's not bad, it isn't as good as his past
work, so fuck it.

the Reverend Horton Heat
Bio[+]Formed in the dying breath of the 1980s, Reverend Horton Heat has been converting audiences far and wide to the hedonistic sermons of the unholy trinity: Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Their brand of music is purely Texan; an mixture of rockabilly, swing, punk, surf and metal, with lyrics that typically consist of girls, cars, drugs and booze. The group has released eight albums to date, their first Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em (1990) on Sub Pop Records. They eventually moved to Interscope Records for 1994’s Liquor In The Front, and then later to Artemis Records for their latest album Lucky 7 (2002). The band consists of Jim Heath on guitar and vocals, Scott Churilla on drums and Jimbo Wallace on stand-up bass.
