Slick Fifty Seven: One More Car, One More Rider

By GRAHAM REID

(Herald rating: * * * )

This East Dallas trio sound like the offspring of a forced marriage between rockabilly rebels and a punk band, with the baby's head christened by a bottle of Wild Turkey. Useful reference points are Rev Horton Heat, truck-drivin' man Wayne Hancock and the Clash motoring in their Brand New Cadillac.

It's a fairly familiar formula, however, and one which doubtless sounds a whole lot better in a Texas booze barn than it does on disc. But it's not without its rowdy, drunken, country-punk charm, and disaffected urban cowboys across the South are doubtless putting bullet holes in the saloon ceiling right now.
