Reverend Horton Heat
Hometown: Dallas, Texas, United States
Tags: rock, rockabilly, psychobilly
Undeniably, The Reverend Horton Heat, aka Jim Heath, is the biggest, baddest, grittiest, greasiest, greatest rocker that ever piled his hair up and pounded the drinks down.
It’s been an almost 20-year journey for Heath, whose country-flavored punkabilly and onstage antics have brought him and his band a strikingly diverse fan base and a devoted cult following, not to mention the respect of fellow musicians worldwide.

June 09, 2010Jim Heath, a.k.a. the Reverend Horton Heat, has made a career out of nostalgia: As the pinnacle of the early-’90s rockabilly revival, the Rev has spastically twitched out a rollickingly jittery twang that brought a party-punk swagger back to a scene drenched by moody downer grunge. more at www.avclub.com

Featured Review from TheOnion
September 17, 2009Most 63-year-olds settle for counting the days until they can trade in their years of hard work for a gold watch and a quiet place to while away their autumn years; not Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, who shows no signs of slowing down, nor any intention to start doing so. more at austin.decider.com

Featured Review from Austin360
May 08, 2009For this year’s Texas Rockabilly Revival out at the Nutty Brown Café, Orlando Rios of Austin-based Rockabilly Magazine managed to score not only a set from O.R. (originally rockabilly) gal Wanda Jackson (she played Friday), but a set from a rockabilly band fronted by THE Lemmy. You read that right: Headliner the Head Cat is a band fronted by Motörhead bassist Lemmy Kilmister. more at www.austin360.com

December 29, 2008Texas’ godfather—or more accurately, slightly pervy uncle—of greasy psychobilly has been hootin’ and hollerin’ his way through more than two decades of shifting trends, and while he may never reclaim the heights of the short-lived mid-’90s swing revival (and these days that pompadour is looking a little flat and grey), Reverend Horton Heat is still preaching the bad word to a parish of fervent believers. more at austin.decider.com
