An Uncle Roddus Album Review
This was one of those wonderful bonus finds that occasionally fall into your hands when collecting music. I was browsing in a pretty nondescript music store while on holiday several years ago when I spotted this baby for 5 bucks in a bin. I wasn't really there to buy any thing, but I had heard of Horton and for a fiver I thought it was worth the risk. This later day Punkabilly album is well polished, heavy enough and very well written enough to impress me considerably and the best find since a mate found Elvis Hitler in another bargain bin several years earlier. The Trio of "Lie Detector", Hello Mrs. Darkness" and "Jimbo Song" are the real highlights here, with Jimbo being an absolute punkabilly classic(check out all three tracks on this Roddus Sampler) while the rest of the record is still entertaining and pretty bloody impressive for a bargain bin find.
My rating 4/5
The Rev comes through my town about once each year so I've been luck enough to see several shows over the last 10 years or more. SO FUN!
