Reverend Organdrum come by their name honestly: this Dallas-based trio feature guitarist Jim Heath (a/k/a psychobilly veteran the Reverend Horton Heat), Hammond organist Tim Alexander (a former member of Asleep at the Wheel), and drummer Todd Soesbe (Heath’s current next-door neighbor). In other words: a reverend, an organ, and some drums. Brilliant! Hi-Fi Stereo is the new combo’s debut, and if you’d started thinking a few years ago that Reverend Horton Heat recordings might not be worth your time anymore, well, this one probably won’t do much to change your mind. But there are plenty of worse ways to kill an hour, especially when Heat and his bandmates seem so willing to play up their amiable inconsequentiality: in addition to putting their thoroughly competent spin on a handful of respectable roots-music nuggets, they also tackle “War Pigs” and “The James Bond Theme” with the daffy enthusiasm of the world’s greatest hotel-lounge band.
