From Amazon.com: A thematically-appropriate followup to 1994's Liquor in the Front, this EP finds the Texas tornado in a (somewhat) subdued mode. But even though the pedal is off the metal, the party remains in full swing since Rev. Jim Heath can't help but be the host with the most, an attitude that shines through on low-key loungers like "That's Showbiz." And while the disc does lack the over-the-top energy of earlier releases, the Rev. and his disciples haven't totally disavowed the psychobilLy gospel: for all its suave veneer, the title track still sounds more like an invitation to quaff a cuppa moonshine than an iced cocktail. --David Sprague
Who says it's not good??: This is the second of the Rev's albums I've bought, and despite what the other reviewers thought, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I must say it's not as good as "Smoke 'em..." but I loved it nonetheless. Great guitar licks and tongue-in-cheek lyrics make for a great listening experience.
Their best album.: This is their best album (IMHO). Great for road trips
The Reverend has revived us once again: This new album from the always-popular Reverend has a slightly revised sound to his previous recordings. However he has kept his unique brand of humor and charm incorporated into the lyrics. This album is what you expect to come from the Rev, It's classic.
Here is a must have for anyone who like to rock: This is a must have if you like rock and roll, rockabilly, swing, or anything good.
All praise the Reverend!!: The Reverend Horton Heat can slam you silly. The Reverend can use his holy powers to make you swing and snap the fingers baby. What else can be said except, "Get this disc"? Some have said this is not thier best work. if this is the case you should probably get this one first and see how good thier "bad" stuff is. Tracks like Big Red Rocket of Love, Time to Pray, and It's Martini Time are rockin', rollin' tunes that any rock fan should appreciate. Crooked Cigarette and Slingshot are of a more mellow, foot tapping speed that does a nice job of balancing out the disc. If not for on-line mp3s, I never would have heard the stuff that makes these guys worth the money. Now I have to add the rest to my collection. Why can't radio be more like this? Donate your cash today good disciple. Support The Reverend Horton Heat.
