Recorded live in the studio, direct to a vintage two-track tape machine, the debut by The Reverend Horton Heat smokes like a classic '50s rockabilly session seasoned with a healthy dash of post-punk mayhem. Not as slick as the Stray Cats, as schtick-filled as the Cramps, as traditional as Flat Duo Jets, or as crazed as Hasil Adkins, The Reverend Horton Heat is his own special brand of rockabilly cat.
The Rev, stand-up bassist Jim Wallace, and drummer Taz Bentley's fiery, noisy playing blow apart any notion of polite revivalism, while such song titles as "Eat Steak," "Big Dwarf Rodeo," and the aptly titled rave-up "Psychobilly Freakout" show that this is not your father's rockabilly. SMOKE 'EM IF YOU GOT 'EM is a classic of the form that should appeal even to those who aren't usually rockabilly fans.
