This album documents the non-"Greatest Hits" part
of a show that the Commander and company did at Armadillo World HQ in Austin
in the early Seventies (the "Greatest Hits" part came out as "Live from Deep
in the Heart of Texas", also worth your while).
This is demented western swing/rockabilly at its absolute best, from Billy
Kirchen's guitar and lead vocals to the Commander's manic piano and occasional
vocal.
Particularly worthwhile tracks are "Ain't Nothin Shakin' (But the Leaves)",
"Boppin' the Blues" and a truly demented "Jail House Rock".
You Need This. Okay? |
