Description
Loaded guns, space heaters, and
big skies. Welcome to the lethal
littered landscape of Jim Heath’s
imagination. True to his high evan-
gelical calling, Jim is a Revelator,
both revealing & reinterpreting the
country-blues-rock roots of Ameri-
can music. He’s a time-travelling
space-cowboy on a endless inter-
stellar musical tour, and we are all
the richer & “psychobillier” for get-
ting to tag along.
Seeing REVEREND HORTON
HEAT live is a transformative ex-
perience. Flames come off the gui-
tars. Heat singes your skin. There’s
nothing like the primal tribal rock
& roll transfiguration of a Rever-
end Horton Heat show. Jim be-
comes a slicked-back 1950′s rock &
roll shaman channeling Screamin’
Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly,
while Jimbo incinerates the Stand-
Up Bass. And then there are the
“Heatettes”. Those foxy rockabilly
chicks dressed in poodle-skirts
and cowboy boots slamming the
night away. It’s like being magically
transported into a Teen Exploita-
tion picture from the 1950′s that’s
currently taking place in the future.
Listening to the REVEREND HOR-
TON HEAT is tantamount to injecting
pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod
engine of your heart. The Reverend’s
commandants are simple.
And no band on this, or any other,
planet rocks harder, drives faster,
or lives truer than the Reverend
Horton Heat. These “itinerant
preachers” actually practice what
they preach. They live their lives by
the Gospel of Rock & Roll.
From the High-Octane Spaghet-
ti-Western Wall of Sound in “Big
Sky” — to the dark driving frenetic
paranoia of “400 Bucks” – to the
brain-melting Western Psyche-
delic Garage purity of “Psychobilly
Freakout” — The Rev’s music is the
perfect soundtrack to the Drive-In
Movie of your life.
Jim Heath & Jimbo Wallace have
chewed up more road than the
Google Maps drivers. For twenty-
five Psychobilly years, they have
blazed an indelible, unforgettable,
and meteoric trail across the globe
with their unique blend of musical
virtuosity, legendary showman-
ship, and mythic imagery.
“Okay it’s time for me to put this
loaded gun down, jump in my Five-
Oh Ford, and nurture my pig on the
outskirts of Houston. I’ll be bring-
ing my love whip. See y’all later.” -
Carty Talkington Writer/Director
