Die Psychobilly/Rockabilly Schwergewichte von Reverend Horton Heat haben ein brandneues Video zur aktuellen Single "Hog Tyin' Woman" veröffentlicht.
Zudem kann man das heute über Victory Records erschienene Album "Whole New Life" beim Billboard Magazin komplett streamen.
"It’s the most positive album I’ve ever done", admits ringleader Jim 'Reverend' Heath. "Some of my stuff in the past was dark, maybe too dark. I guess I’m not the awful vindictive jerk I thought I was!"
Recording the album in their hometown of Dallas, Heath says that "Creating Whole New Life brought out something more positive in my storytelling and guitar playing. I also saw a vocal coach to reach notes unheard to the average fan. It’s got some Southern feel to it, a bit of gruff and a crooning style to it. Write what you know, that’s what they tell ya in school, right?"
The artwork was created by a pair of rock ’n' roll sisters called The Mad Twins, Olya and Vira. These creative designers from the Ukraine also animated 'Hardscrabble Woman,' the bands final video from the previous album. "Jim Heath is a real old-school gentleman with a precise taste of 1950’s retro style and an excellent sense of humor," Vira professes. "Jim gave us a good guide of the songs meanings lyrically and musically so we visualized a 1950’s color style from that era. Call it globalism but isn’t it wild that two Ukrainian female artists are doing American 50’s graphics for a Texas band thirty years into their career? The design, art and music of that time are so powerful because people were doing it all by hand – paintings, clothing, cars, instruments – there were simple and naïve emotions, less vulgarity, straight honesty and sincere love. All that makes up the musical tornado of REVEREND HORTON HEAT."
