"If you listen
to the band's catalog, you might say there are a few recurring themes found
in our songs: beer, gin and tonic, whiskey, cocaine, tequila, martinis,
marijuana, cigarettes, cars, more beer, pretty women, sermons, cats and
dogs, the devil, Texas, and Jimbo. Not to mention steak and dildos. All
the good things in life."
-- Jim Heath, a.k.a. the Reverend Horton Heat
Subject matter on the Reverend Horton Heat's forthcoming
"Lucky 7" - the Texas psychobilly stalwarts' debut for
Artemis Records - doesn't stray too far
from the topical formula the Rev initially established over a decade ago.
There are car tunes ("Like A Rocket," "Reverend Horton Heat's
Big Blue Car," "Galaxy 500"). Party tunes ("Loco Gringos
Like A Party"). Devastating tales of rejection ("Ain't Gonna Happen").
Inspirational message from the pulpit ("Sermon On The Jimbo").
Instrumentals with titles that may or not be clever innuendo ("Show
Pony"). Instrumentals with titles that make you want to hop the next
train to Tombstone ("Duel At The Two O'Clock Bell"). "Lucky
7" even finds the Rev delivering poignant portraits of loyal friendship
("You've Got A Friend In Jimbo").
Indeed, Lucky 7 neatly captures the most ingratiating sonic elements of
this legendary Dallas trio - namely, Scott Churilla's
gracefully ham-fisted drum onslaught, Jimbo Wallace's
perennial bass string-slapping, and most notably, the Rev's pants-on-fire
guitar riffs and leering vocals - in under the better part of an hour. |
