Thee Scarecrows AKA
Ten Heads Are Better Than One
(Rub-A-Chicken Records)


.
No, swerving, drawled harmonica isn't common to psychobilly. Perhaps that's partly why it succeeds admirably and locates Thee Scarecrows far afield from more orthodox, guitar-grinding psycho. 

Sure, that's present in abundance. So are pounded-out rhythms and gravelly yowls.

But dug up and tossed freely is a raging psycho hulk stitched liberally from the hillbilly and blues musics that mattered decades before angry kids took razors to their skulls.

Recommended: "Ten Heads Are Better Than One," "Somebody's Diggin' My Potatoes," "Scarecrow Man," "You Got Your Head On Backwards, Baby," "Straw Headed Man," "Hey Ho, Let's Ho!"
