So what is so interesting about this release from this band that you probably never heard of? Hillbilly Hellcats sound alot like Reverend Horton Heat before they got boring and repetitive - that is to say, when they were still recording for sub:pop (yup, that grunge label). The tightness of early Reverend Horton Heat had much to do with their then drummer Taz Bentley, who's drum works really made a difference.I'm not saying RHH's present drummer Scot Churilla is a lesser drummer, on the contrary - he is excellent too!
Taz Bentley and his signature ostinatos + tam-rolls are very present indeed on «Rev It Up With Taz». It is also a very funny and fot-tappin' record. So for a prelisten only (!) go to The Twilight Zone and pick up a copy. Buy it here!
