Hillbilly Hellcats
Mental US Psychobilly - good stuff. The thing I like about the Hillbilly Hellcats is that it IS Psychobilly - there's plenty of 'billy' to go with the 'psycho'. Too many bands forget this.... The 'hidden track' thing at the end is very funny...
'Rev It Up With Taz', the Hillbilly Hellcats' debut, sparkles and shines like a crushed Pabst Blue Ribbon can in the dirt. The sock-hoppin' 'White Trash' again pays homage to the perks of trailer park living and big bee-hived girls, but rather coming off as rehashed, its tongue-in-cheek sincerity charms. 'My Baby Moved' bemoans an ex-girlfriend's tragic metamorphosis from hep-kitten to hippy-chick. Perhaps the best track on Rev It Up is the CD opener, 'Hillbillies on Speed', with its tasty banjo intro and Chuck Hughes' vocal 180, growling and purring to Taz Bentley's pouty drums and Lance Romance's throbbing bass. 'I Dig Jazz' is a slice of instrumental bliss, nicely showcasing what the Hillbilly Hellcats can really do, although at one minute, forty-two seconds, it is woefully short. 'Tom Grey's Dream' chugs and twangs the story of Tom Grey's drinking problem and its subsequent 'cure' (You'd quit too, if you sobered up on a Hell-bound train with the Devil as the conductor.).
The life and sounds of the new millennium come crashing into those of the fifties in this Modern Rockabilly trio. Coming from a state known for its tie-dyed bands, Colorado's Hillbilly Hellcats tell stories of skateboards and hippies as well as white trash, whiskey, road rage and trailer parks. The guest drumming of Taz Bentley, ex Rev. Horton Heat, is heard on this CD.
"This Hillbilly Hellcats CD is great! Twenty songs recorded in two days. Taz played really well with Chuck and Lance on this album. If you like The Reverend Horton Heat you'll like this. It's fast and still has a real rockabilly beat. Lance plays very well and the bass is plenty loud. It never gets lost in the mix. You must get this CD!" www.rockabillybass.com
