Music reviews of Hi-Fi Stereo
Music Review: Sunshine to Spread
Rating: 5 Stars
Reverend Organdrum is a trio made up of Jim Heath on guitar, Tim Alexander on Hammond organ & Todd Soesbe on drums. This band is a blast! Substituting organ for a bass guitarist, this combo pumps out garage rock anthems without any clinkers. The surfer version of "James Bond Theme" puts a special smile on my face. Henry Mancini's "Experiment in Terror" haunts like a twisted intruder from the 1962 film with Lee Remick & Glen Ford. Nelson Riddle's "Theme to Route 66" makes me want to jump in a Corvette & hit the road. "Hang 'Em High" with the organ front & center is such a delight. Of the two vocal numbers on this set, Jim Heath sounds like he's soused on "Ain't That a Kick in the Head," "I've sunshine enough to spread, it's true what the fellow said, tell me quick, ain't that a kick in the head?" "C Jam Blues" by Duke Ellington stretches to meet this band's wild style. Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman" pops with the organ chugging overtime. The Rascles' "Groovin'" is a favorite track with the sunny organ giving a perpetual smile. The set concludes with a cover of Booker T & the MG's "Time Is Tight." Not many (mostly) instrumental CDs (other than jazz) go gold, but Reverend Organdrum provides nonstop fun. I may have to throw a party just so I can play this CD. Bravo!
Description of Hi-Fi Stereo
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 HolterGeneral CDs
