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? |
