Screamin Jay Hawkins - Spellbound! 1955-74 CD

Spellbound! 1955-74 album for sale The Reverend Horton Heat's seventh album is, for the most part, more of the same: revved-up rockabilly guitar leavened with splashes of surf (dig the Dick Dale-style barrel rolls underpinning "The Reverend Horton Heat's Big Blue Car"), blues, and Ramones-style punk, all in the service of lyrics celebrating the joys of cruisin', boozin', and fightin', in roughly that order.

The last couple of tracks, the holy-rollin' "Sermon on the Jimbo" and the gospel parody "You've Got A Friend In Jimbo," move a little too far into Southern Culture on the Skids mockery, plus they run for over eight minutes, enough time for the joke to wear thin.
