Back in the Day, 2017

Hillbilly Hellcats

s/t   digital

(Audiosparx / Rosenklang)



32 slices from past platters. Some smooth, others serrated. Most were culled from Rev It Up with Taz (1996) and Our Brand (1998). In addition to cut-above wittiness that is at turns self-deprecating - and the ten-miles-high musical chops of Chuck Hughes, Lance Bakemeyer, and Taz Bentley - this compilation offers salvation to those previously denied admittance to creepered Mystic Order of the Ostinato swing society meetings for not having purchased songs when first dealt to vendors.

Recommended: "Road Rage," "White Trash," "Leavin' Colorado," "Hippie Dance," "Tom Grey's Dream," "Everybody There Was Drinkin' Martinis but Me," "Crazy Little Baby," "Hillbillies on Speed," "Havin' it All," "Hillbilly Love," "I Wanna Be a Rockabilly Rebel," "Cats Like Us," "My Baby Moved," "Better Be Some Drinkin'," "Over and Over," "Train to Nowhere," "I Dig Jazz," "A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action," "I Never Thought"

Videos: "Everybody There Was Drinkin' Martinis but Me"   "Crazy Little Baby"   "I Wanna Be a Rockabilly Rebel"   "Better Be Some Drinkin'"   "I Dig Jazz"   "I Never Thought"
