The life and
sounds of the new millenium come crashing into those of
the fifties in the songs of this modern rockabilly trio. Coming
from a state known for it's tie-dyed bands, Colorado's
Hillbilly Hellcats tell stories of skateboards
and hippies, as well as white trash, whiskey and
trailer parks. Both of the bands CD releases have
received extensive college airplay, charting for weeks in
the College Music Journal's lists. The disks
both feature the guest drumming of Taz Bentley,
known for his playing on the first three Reverend
Horton Heat albums.
Take one part Reverend Horton Heat, one part
Southern Culture on the Skids, one part Stray
Cats, one part Gene Vincent & His
Blue Caps and one part Dick Dale, put it all
in a tall dirty glass and add a few shots of
Everclear, then swallow The Hillbilly Hellcats if you
dare. The Hellcats' chops and energy levels rival - and
in some cases best - the sum of their influences.
