This is a Texan trio playing largely instrumental covers of film music and 50s and 60s standards. Put together by the Rev Horton Heat singer and guitarist Jim Heath, the band comprises guitar, drums and Hammond organ and it’s the last instrument that predominates: this record sounds like it could have soundtracked the Swinging Sixties party scenes in every garishly technicoloured B-movie from that decade. They play very well (Tim Alexander, the organist, has won multi-Grammy awards with country swing band Asleep At The Wheel) and they’re obviously having fun but I’m not sure anyone else will be. There’s a neat take on the James Bond Theme with bendy guitar notes but it’s all a haze of steadily more annoying organ until they get to the ultra-cheesy Groovin’ and you want to kill your stereo. I can’t think that you’d ever want to listen to this outside a Mexican restaurant (as backing music) or a Hammond B-3 organ convention.
