Revorgandrum
August 2009 Week 2
Amazon.com Review
The good reverend of Dallas, Jim Heath (a.k.a. Rev. Horton Heat), lays down his psychotic Gretsch to kneel at the instrumental altar of this sundry fakebook of a few of his heroes: Ray Charles, Duane Eddy, Lee Hazlewood, and Booker T & the MGs. The side project draws its name from the reverend’s new rhythm section, led by organist Tim Alexander (Asleep at the Wheel), whose graceful Hammond B3 often trumps even the guitar work of the band’s leader. Alexander and Heath trade licks in Eddy’s cowpoke ditty "Moovin’ and Groovin," landing it somewhere between Dick Dale and the Beach Boys, while drummer Todd Soesbe’s frantic ferocity turns up the heat on Booker T’s "Can’t Be Still." The reverend’s torch-bearing legions of fans might not get it, but this incarnation of his band is a soulful, searing, and ultra-cool sermon that the good reverend should revisit often. -Scott Holter
