The Rev's First.......2007-04-05

This album, the Rev's first, should be required listening for all who lust for great Rock 'n Roll. Never have I come across an artist that hits the target so consistently on center. Usually placed in the catagory of "rockabilly" or "psychobilly" (two if my favorite catagories, BTW) Mr. Heath is much much more than that. Mix up a cocktail of classic rock and roll, one part punk, a dash of rockabilly/1950s, a sprinkle of Johnny Cash and Ernest Tubb, a hint of Roger Miller's wit...then supercharge it. Absolutely blazing guitar work, complimented by the rock solid slap bass of Jimbo Wallace and drumming of wild man Taz Bentley. Makes the Stray Cats (who they are often compared to) look like pussies. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats the Rev live...see him soon at a venue near you. (Next buy Full Custom Gospel Sounds of...)

"Rockabilly Freakout"...How Apt.......2007-01-12

I first was introduced to the Reverend and his particular form of sermonizing on a long-gone PC FPS called "Redneck Rampage". The game disc also included a soundtrack, which featured two of the Reverend's songs, "Wiggle Stick" amd "Nurture My Pig". I then was re-introduced to the Reverend on "Guitar Hero 2", which featured "Psychobilly Freakout", which was exactly that. I don't see how anyone could play a guitar that fast, but he did. And based on the strength of that one song, I bought this CD, and I'm glad I did. I like every single song on this CD, and that is exceptionally rare for me. All of the songs are good, there are only ones which I like better than others ("Big Dwarf Rodeo" and "Eat Steak" come to mind). If you're a fan of rockabilly or the Stray Cats, the other group that falls into this niche, then you owe it to yourself to get this CD.

Underrated.......2006-12-24

The Cramps are second, but these guys blow them out of the water. I also never understand how so many people ignore this band. Seriously, it's not a stupid _________ rap album that you "dance" to (yeah, if you call moving left to right dancing, my __________ ___. Yeah I do it sometimes, but if you just do that, then no wonder so many people are so ______ boring). If people want to ignore music like this and listen to 50 cent, let em. Whatever.

Oh yeah sorry forgot to review the album. Get it. It's cathcy, fun, and has good guitar solos. You'll want to rock out. Add this with Highway To Hell, Led Zeppelin, Appetite For Destruction, Destroyer (nevermind, I never liked Kiss), some Aerosmith, Shout At the Devil, and Boston. Get this instead of some H.I.M. album.

Go. go.. go.......2006-07-20

Another straight ahead headbanger from the Reverend. If you like your music loud and strong with a hint of C&W on some tracks, then this is it. He follows other strong CD,s in the same vein.

Sparks Fly, Hot Rods Race, Buxom Women Swoon..........2005-12-03

Behind the deceptively subdued exterior of the album cover, and the Reverend's Eddie Haskell grin that appears thereon, lies a world we all desperately yearn for. (Well, some of us, anyway.) It features fast women, fast cars, big, thick steaks, and rodeos with big dwarfs. Holy cow, what more could a guy ever want from life?

The Reverend rocks like a man who's been brought up properly in the Rockabilly tradition. He'll have you playing air guitar and before you know it, you're dancing around like a concert madman and then trying to explain to the wife that it was a pretend Stratocaster that she saw you holding and thrusting in front of your hips.

This is good old fashioned bang yer fingers on the dashboard, jam the accelerator, punkamunkahunkabilly rock and roll. I bet George Thorogood wishes he could play his riffs half as fast and with as much feeling.

The very best of the Rev.......2006-03-19

I learned about Reverend Gary Davis's music by listening to a Hot Tuna concert DVD. Jorma and Jack mentioned him in their interviews. I quickly found this cd at Amazon.com and enjoyed hearing the real thing from the reverend in a very good recording.

Great introduction to the man's work.......2003-09-30

My local record store was doing a promotion on this series, so I took a chance on this collection, and I'm glad I did. I'm pretty familiar with Chicago electric blues, as typified by Chess Records, but I've been wanting to go beyond that. This collection of Rev. Gary Davis's work is really strong, and the notes indidate the original label each track was taken from, making it easy to follow up and get additional CDs by him. I went back the next day and got all the rest of the CDs in the series, and I will report back when I have had a chance to absorb them.

Always The Bomb.......2006-11-04

This is definitely the best Rev. compilation put together yet. Now we just need a really good live album to capture the Rev. at his finest. This is a must have for people just getting into the Heat.

A Hearty Serving Of The Rev.......2006-02-19

The Reverend Horton Heat make some great rockabilly tunes, and a large number of their best offerings can be found on this compilation. My only complaint is that "Liquor,Beer,and Wine" is not included. If youre looking for some good stuff thats a little different from your normal everyday rock, then check out The Rev.

Top Five Album!.......2004-05-07

If you're looking to build a music collection and have a limited budget that forces you to look at compilation CDs, "Holy Roller" is an absolute must. Nothing beats thrashing, wall-banging rockabilly for your entertainment buck, and "Holy Roller," with its 24 tracks, is a great capsule summary of one of the genre's defining bands.

Spanning from "Smoke 'Em if You Got 'Em" to "Space Heater," "Holly Roller" covers the glory year of the Rev. Not content with raging guitars and a frantic beat, the Rev. also throws out some of the most irreverent, hilarious lyrics around. "Big Red Rocket of Love," "Bad Reputation," "Big Little Baby," "Now, Right Now," and others are high-octane rockabilly.

The Rev. gets a little more humorous with "Bales of Cocaine," "Cowboy Love," and "Eat Steak" -- sure to drive any vegetarian to distraction. "Where in the Hell Did You Go With My Toothbrush" is musical and comic genius.

Like the Supersuckers, Reverend Horton Heat is one of those acts that never falter from their course. Take two parts rockabilly, one quarter cow punk, and one quarter surf, and you've got the not-so-secret formula that's earned the Reverend a dedicated flock since the days of Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em. Lucky 7 comes six albums later, and it's an effortless roll through the subjects the reverend knows like the back of his hand--booze, babes, and bad reputations (or at least the kind of trouble that'll earn one the latter). Whether Heat is drinking his tequila down to the worm, chasing all the pretty girls, singing the praises of his big blue car, or dedicating multiple sermons to the legendary Jimbo, he's in fine form on Lucky, spiking every track with an equal mix of high-spirited humor and entertaining storytelling. His methodical songwriting style doesn't seem to leave him broke, so it doesn't look like he's fixing it to change it any time soon. For followers of the reverend's skirt-chasing charm, though, 7 is just as lucky as all the rest. --Jennifer Maerz

Album Description

2002 release with 14 tracks including, 'Duel At The Two O'Clock Bell' & 'Show Pony'. Produced by Ed Stasium (Talking Heads, Ramones, Living Colour).

Customer Reviews:

Probably their rocking best.......2006-09-21

This is pretty much a perfect album. It has hard rocking numbers like "Loco Gringos" and "..Big Blue Car" and then closes with some of the Rev's most comedic material ever about our beloved Jimbo (from Deer Park Texas Land). I saw them tour this one and they hit it hard in concert because there were so many hard songs from it. Great CD from a Great Live Band. See them in concert if you get a chance.

The Reverend at his best form.......2005-09-24

For years, the Reverend Horton Heat has put out some of the best drugs, sex, and rock-n-roll music. He's at his best form here, and yes, if you're a guy and gone through a bad break up, songs like Galaxy 500 will probably speak to you very LOUDLY. I suppose it might speak to the ladies too, but this is definitely testosterone fueled music.

While the music really cooks and the Reverend has a great voice for the material, it's the genuine lyrics that really give this CD an extra dimension. Sure, the Reverend Horton Heat has never been one to engage into deep philosophical discussions, but he does delve into the pain and the thrills that make life worth living. And in a simple, direct way many of us can relate to. The guy certainly has a lot of heart, and I just love the Texas twang he puts on everything.

I suppose if it didn't end with a bunch of filler, it wouldn't be a Horton Heat CD but the ending filler is even good for a chuckle or two.

Good Break Up Album.......2004-09-08

This is a good album to listen to after a break up. The wild sounds of the Reverend seem to ease the pain, after all, many of the songs on this album seem to be about breaking up, like 'Galaxie 500,' 'What's Reminding Me of You' and 'Go with Your Friends.'

The Reverend reminds us all that despite the heartache, havin' fun is truly the meaning of life, and getting wild and crazy is the secret to happiness. This music isn't called psychobilly for nothing. This music just kicks a**, and you have to listen to it REALLY LOUD.

And the icing on the cake, to top it all off, is that at the end, you find out that you have a friend in Jimbo, and he's exactly the kind of friend you're gonna need, when the going gets rough.

Loco Gringos Like a Party!.......2004-04-22

Reverend Horton Heat harks back to the working class mania that gave birth to rock 'n' roll and rockabilly, spewing out songs about drinking, drugging and womanizing with the kind of ear-blistering ferocity that brings to mind Jerry Lee Lewis fronting the Sex Pistols. Beer, whiskey, tequila, marijuana, cigarettes, cars, pretty girls, and cocaine, these are some of the most prominent themes in this music. The good Rev has been holdin' down the rockabilly scene for nearly a decade. If you like to rock without a safety net, take a sip of the Reverend's brimstone cocktail and rejoice. This is one of the best Reverend Horton Heat Albums. Heat has returned to renowned metal producer Ed Stasium, who delivers both high-impact guitar and sufficient clarity for enjoyment of Heat's droll way with words. Highly recommended!

Woooo!.......2003-03-25

I found that my music was getting too poppy, so i started to look heavier. And that's just what i got- toe tapping, head banging rockabilly. Think like Brian Setzer meets incubus, or Big bad voodoo daddy meets the chili peppers. This is a full-throttle, nitrous oxide injected incredible joyride of an album. I have no idea how on earth the drummer's feet (sorry, loyal fans- i don't know his name) don't fall off during the insane bass drumming on track 3- RHH's big blue car. Being a drummer myself, that must be incredubly strenuous. The level gets toned down a bit with "tiny voice of reason", but has very few low spots. "Sermon on the Jimbo" is quite funny, esp. the voices in the background going "oh no!" etc. If you too want to supercharge your music collection, this album must become a part of it.

Disappointed.......2007-03-24

I don't understand where they went a rye but somehow todd did. I am a die-hard Toadies fan I mean I love that band so I assumed I would love his new band Burden Brothers. But to my amazement I hated most of this album it is too soft for me and sounds way too pop rock radio compliant. Bring back your Toadies rawness and this band will be alright.

This is "Real Rock Music".......2006-12-18

Finally we have some "Real Rock Music" to listen to besides all this fake stuff that's out there. I've even converted my teenage kids over to the Burden Brothers. Vaden Lewis has amazing vocal command on this CD, and all the songs are awesome. This CD is definately going to be in my top 10 of all time. If you like to crank up your rock music and listen to some awesome riffage and great lyrics......this CD is for you. You won't be disappointed!

Great Dallas band.......2005-09-16

This is a quick review.....If you like the Toadies, then you'll love this band. They have an "in your face" edge to them but still show a softer side as well. They show that they have a great style of music and a depth in their lyrics. Very nice band to become acquainted with on a regular basis.

Exactly Like a Toadies Album.......2005-04-23

If you are a fan of any of the 2 Toadies albums, you will be a fan of this one. There is a healthy mix of outstanding, midline, and yucky songs on this album as there have been in Todd's last two. Buy it, but for heaven's sake you cannot ever judge an album after just a few listens unless you are basing things on something like foul language (which Burden Bros have certainly maintained here). Songs to preview are If You're Going to Heaven, Your Fault, Beautiful Night and Shadow.

Just horrible.......2005-04-05

First off, let me explain my own musical preferences. I enjoy Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, QOTSA, Dandy Warhols, Kyuss, Toadies. I could go on, I just wanna give you an idea of what I like, so you can gauge my reaction to this album accordingly.

This is one of the worst albums I've ever heard. I was so incredibly dissapointed when I listened to it. I'm a pretty big fan of Toadies; this is nothing like Toadies. Every song sounds the same, Lewis doesn't change his vocals throughout the entire CD. I was expecting so much from this group considering their past endeavors, but even the instrumental part of the album is ridiculously lacking. I just don't know what happened. I bought this CD off of Amazon, when I received it I immediately put it in my CD payer and I disliked it so much I put it up for sale on Amazon the next day. I haven't been to any of their live shows, so those may rock, but this CD sucks. I'm not sure what the other reviewers are thinkin. If you can, I recommend going to your local used cd store and if they have a listening station, listen to this cd before you buy it. Do not waste even five bucks on this cd unless you listen to it first and like it. If you want a cd that rocks, buy the first Queens of the Stone Age cd or maybe the Kyuss cd Blues for the Red Sun. Or really, just buy anything BUT this Burden Brothers cd.

the reverend's finest hour.......2006-01-18

A fantastic album with great songs and God-like guitar playing. The sound on this one is pretty raw and the music jumps out of the speakers and grabs you by the throat. I have no problem admitting that I've played air guitar to "Devil's Chasing Me" on more than one occassion.

Rockabillyness is next to godliness.......2004-03-06

Don't listen to anyone who says anything bad about this album... This is the first reverend album I ever bought, It's the one I've listened to the most, and it is still hands-down the best. Smoke em if ya got em is a tad sophmoric, though it was a brilliant start, liquor in the front is a little harder (can you say Al Jourgenson) and lacks a little of the rockabilly feel but is probably the second best... martini time and space heater begin to waiver and get a little pop and we aren't going to talk about Spend a night in the box.... Lucky 7 tried to get back to the real Reverend feel, but we have to accept the Rev is mellowing out and getting a little older, his music is heading the way of Chet Atkins (not that that is a bad thing) but If you really wanna know what it feels like to be bombarded with pure Psychobilly fury you buy this album! Jim Heath is one of the most talented guitar players on the planet, Jimbo Wallace plays the fastest slap bass I know and this album hits hard.... Go buy a bowling shirt and an old car.... then pop this cd into your deck and just crank it and drive.... The Reverend is a God among men.... he makes lesser guitar players quiver and every track on this cd is perfect.... no question.. I've listened to a lot of Rockabilly, Psychobilly and Swing and heard some great friggin bands (side note check out Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Phonics) but I always come back to the Rev cause he knows what it's all about... fast cars, fast woman, booze, drugs, steak, Satan, Texas, and Rock and Roll!

Mostly cooks, but some weak moments.......2003-08-30

I got introduced to the Rev. Horton Heat about ten years ago, and recently picked up this CD. Thought it was great then, and I'm glad to say, still gets me going. The Texas punked-up rockabilly pretty much cooks throughout this CD until the end, when it sort of runs out of gas and degenerates into filler.

Those of you, such as myself, not into sophomoric lyrics will want to pass on "Wiggle Stick", a pointless ode to a critical part of his anatomy and "400 Bucks".

But all in all, a pretty rockin' good time.

Sounds dated, expected to enjoy it but didnt........2003-08-24

I really didnt care for the cd, its overproduced the vocals sound like they're being sung through a voice-box, and they're not focused nor powerful unfortunately. The speedier tracks seem to lack control and have none of the power of equally speedy punk or thrash. Its like they're trying to outrun themselves.
The tracks themselves try to sound upbeat, but underneath it all I found the music somewhat despressing despite the uptempo.
I've been suggested some of the Reverend Horton Heats newer more mellow stuff so I will check that out before I write the band off entirely.

Start Yer Engines.......2003-01-27

Without a doubt, this LP is hands down the best album the Rev ever put out. Subsequent releases aren't bad, but they just... don't... quite... have it.

"Beer" is the party swing stomper that I played one night and it got everybody on the dance floor like you wouldn't believe. I followed it up a little later with "Big Little Baby" and it was gangbusters pt.2.

"Bales of Cocaine" is the comedy number the ... Surfers would kill for, "The Devil's Chasing Me" would have Brian Setzer scrambling for cover, and "400 Bucks" is worth the price of the CD alone. If you're looking for one RHH album to buy, this is the essential one.

A thematically-appropriate followup to 1994's Liquor in the Front, this EP finds the Texas tornado in a (somewhat) subdued mode. But even though the pedal is off the metal, the party remains in full swing since Rev. Jim Heath can't help but be the host with the most, an attitude that shines through on low-key loungers like "That's Showbiz." And while the disc does lack the over-the-top energy of earlier releases, the Rev. and his disciples haven't totally disavowed the psychobilLy gospel: for all its suave veneer, the title track still sounds more like an invitation to quaff a cuppa moonshine than an iced cocktail. --David Sprague

Customer Reviews:

a mixed bag.......2006-01-18

There are some great songs on this one, notably "Big Red Rocket of Love" and the title track, but a lot of it feels like filler. "Crooked Cigarette" and "Generation Why" really don't go anywhere and also suffer from some of the Reverend's dumbest lyrics, and a lot of the music feels like the band is just going through the motions. There are still enough high points to make this worth it for the fans, but this album can't hold a candle to "Full Custom Gospel Sounds" or "Liquor in the Front".

Reverend Horton Heat - 'It's Martini Time' (Interscope) 3 1/2 stars.......2005-07-23

Basically,if you like good old fashioned straight ahead rockabilly with a 'swing' attitude,you should finding this CD appealing.I've always been sort of a fair weather fan of the Reverend and his rocking trio.This disc is probably one of two of his titles I even have a copy of.The absolute best cut here is without a doubt in my mind "Now,Right Now" with other notable tracks being "Big Red Rocket Of Love"(sounds like a South Park episode,doesn't it?),title cut "It's Martini Time",the foot-stomper "Rock The Joint" and "Forbidden Jungle".

Who says it's not good??.......2002-06-19

This is the second of the Rev's albums I've bought, and despite what the other reviewers thought, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I must say it's not as good as "Smoke 'em..." but I loved it nonetheless. Great guitar licks and tongue-in-cheek lyrics make for a great listening experience.

All praise the Reverend!!.......2001-04-10

The Reverend Horton Heat can slam you silly. The Reverend can use his holy powers to make you swing and snap the fingers baby. What else can be said except, "Get this disc"? Some have said this is not thier best work. if this is the case you should probably get this one first and see how good thier "bad" stuff is.

Tracks like Big Red Rocket of Love, Time to Pray, and It's Martini Time are rockin', rollin' tunes that any rock fan should appreciate. Crooked Cigarette and Slingshot are of a more mellow, foot tapping speed that does a nice job of balancing out the disc.

If not for on-line mp3s, I never would have heard the stuff that makes these guys worth the money. Now I have to add the rest to my collection. Why can't radio be more like this? Donate your cash today good disciple. Support The Reverend Horton Heat.

Album Description

"Rousing, hyper, and authentic brand of blues that sounds like what might come out of that secret meth lab nestled deep in the backwaters of the Mississippi Delta." - Cincinnati City Beat

Recorded entirely live to tape with no overdubs, the Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band relentlessly beats their music onto analog tape under the supervision of producer and engineering genius Paul Mahern (Zero Boys, John Mellencamp). The album features bonus material recorded in Clarksdale, MS in the heart of the Mississippi Delta at the James "Jimbo" Mathus Delta Recording Studio (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Elvis Costello, Buddy Guy).

Great Original Slide Blues With Old Time Delta Feel. .......2007-07-05

Just heard this @ an outdoor bar @ Indiana Beach cranked up. Had to ask the bartender who these guys were? Noticed people around me were also digging it. This CD is a must for anyone who loves old time deep(Wash Board, Dobro Guitar & Singing) Delta Blues with great groove & feel. Just ordered this & looking forward to recieving my cd.

Refreshing.......2006-09-13

I first learned of this band at a local show and found their style to be refreshing. They have great energy. Their songs do however seem to blend together but I think that the range of their sound will expand with time. Worth investing.

RIYL :T-model Ford, RL Burnside, Charley Patton.......2006-08-28

Not your daddy's Blues. This is the stuff you only heard from the deep south in the twenties and thirties. Some call it country blues, some call it pre-war blues, some call it delta blues, but I call it a damn good time. Highly recommended!

Very Bad.......2006-08-26

Although I can't speak of this particular recording, I experienced these guys in concert and every song sounded the same. The Reverend appears to be a very talented guitar player, but his singing sounds like a CB radio played to loud.

I was a sinner until I saw the Rev Horton Heat.......2007-01-03

This a a great collection by a great band. The Rev is outstanding with his Gretsch guitar. Jimbo the bass player is just plain good and the drumming is perfect. If you like fast rockabilly - this is wonderful stuff.

It's time to pray........2006-01-10

If you like your rock-a-billy turned up to 11, then Reverend Horton Heat is what you want. However, this collection is only half of what his "Holy Roller" disc is. That best of includes 9 more songs, obviously more essential Rev, and better packaging. What's here rocks of course, and it's better than nothing, but why order hamburger when you can get steak? This is short a few prime cuts also, so there's really no need to think about it. But you do need some Horton Heat, and I'd say you need it "Now, Right Now".

Songs of Endearment ... Rev. James Cleveland forever in our thoughts.......2005-09-12

What a great cd compilation!! All the songs (we sung in our choir) written expressively from Rev. James Cleveland (for the few exceptions and even those) complimented his vocals and spiritual heights to reach the audience who together with the Reverend reached and lifted their hands high to the Almighty Saviour. This cd is an everyday tool in my cd player, and these days it is needed. You won't ever walk alone. Hallelujah!

James Cleveland Greatest Choir.......2005-09-07

This CD is what good gospel music is all about, it reminds you of the times when our families were united, when children and parent talked together, prayed together and went to church together. Remember Sunday Dinners?

Gospel Music Will Never Fade like Worldly Fads.......2004-06-03

God truly has smiled on gospel music over the years. No matter where you are in this country and some parts of the world Gospel music has made its mark. There's nothing like waking up on Sunday mornings listening to the sounds of James Cleveland singing "Jesus is the best thing that ever happened". It goes on and on. If you are ever troubled and the spoken words of man
just wont do.... First call on Jesus and then listen to this CD

This has all the church songs you know...........2004-02-25

....plus the Cleveland Classics God has Smiled on Me, I Don't Feel No Ways Tired and Lord Help Me to Hold Out. But the choice of these, in my opinion, is Jesus is the Best Thing in which James banters (testifies, rather) between verse ('I heard Gladys Knight sing this, I changed the words'...and later I don't know who Gladys was talking about, but') and the congregational response is one of appreciation of how clever it was for Cleveland to adopt the tune for gospel, but also how true it feels to each listener, personally. Also, I think Gladys *did* manage to sneak in to do uncredited background harmonies to James. It was a rare moment, a great moment, captured on tape.
This is a CD of gospel greatness. Find it and get it.
