REVIEW
Righteous Hillbillies Know How to Rock!
The New Lenox Patriot
What a kick-off first record with rock stomping, reminicient of the Four Horsemen. Black Jack Momma and Cassie, could unmistakably have been the Georgia Satellites' Godfather! After that, then it's more into the music land of the Kentucky Headhunters with the song 10,000 Years. Mexican Rodeo, is a jaunty boogie, which is taken from John Lee Hooker and ZZ Top The main riff is likely to blow up your skull. And the power ballad I’m Not Feelin 'You comes just in time for us to catch a brief rest.
In the best of the Four Horsemen, Georgia Satellites fashion, the band begins Fire of Your Own Flame and the rock ride is on again - Love Burns Cold against the title is another hot number, with great double leads, which commemorate the Thunder Hawks and the Allman Brothers. Jealous Man is therefore again like a trampling "Boogie D-train," Ooo Wee Baby- with great grooves placed like the motorcycles from Milwaukee rolling into town and loosed in front of them – and with this, there is a very fine sweet slide guitar. Hillbilly Burlesque is arranged as an instrumental piece and is therefore almost like an old friend a la Green Onions meets Caballo Diablo.
Fantastic debut CD by this absolutely authentic 4-man rock 'n roll American band, from which one can certainly expect more greatness in the future!
OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY
The firepower of The Righteous Hillbillies blows out windows, conquers territories, foreign and domestic, and in the aftermath of the destruction, creates a new breed of rock ‘n’ roll fans. Their new album, Trece Diablos, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that The Righteous Hillbillies are one of the toughest, purest, and rawest purveyors of Southern Rock. Formed in 2007, after an overwhelming response of enthusiasm from rock fans and fellow musicians to an improvisational, guest musical festival performance byBrent James, who serves as the band’s lead singer, the Hillbillies have picked up steam and made heads turn. Popular Chicago radio host, Richard Milne, of WXRT, recently said before playing a dirty, swampy cut (“Hoodoo Voodoo”) from Trece Diablos, “Everytime I listen to these guys I hear, just enough of the Drive by Truckers in what they do, and could I pay a band a higher compliment than that? I can’t, actually!”
The Righteous Hillbillies self-titled debut album, released in 2008, earned them accolades far and wide from DJs and critics. It also set them ablaze on the live circuit, performing for rowdy crowds in a variety of venues. The live promotion culminated in a gig opening for legend Charlie Daniels. David Masciotra, author of Working On a Dream: The Progressive Political Vision of Bruce Springsteen and columnist with PopMatters, wrote of the show, “The Righteous Hillbillies reminded the audience that rock and roll is currently missing a few crucial elements, namely fun and danceability. The night clearly belonged to the Righteous Hillbillies.”
The Righteous Hillbillies received three standing ovations opening for Daniels, and have become a live favorite at festivals, clubs, and bars throughout the Chicagoland area. In an era and a region where it is difficult to find high energy, high powered rock with that most important and most mysterious of ingredients – soul – The Righteous Hillbillies plug the audience into a high voltage dosage every second they stand on stage. The individual members of The Righteous Hillbillies are all talented players with strong musical personalities. They unite to present a unique brand of rock ‘n’ roll that simultaneously satisfies and challenges the audience.
Brent James (vocals & rythyhm guitar), Jeff Bella (bass guitar) and Barret Harvey (drums and percussion), are all talented, unique, and powerful individuals coalesce to create The Righteous Hillbillies. The Righteous Hillbillies are an axe shredding, ace dealing, foot stompin’, Southern rock, high-powered Americana, boogie blues band that plays with talent and passion. They have built a strong, supportive, and loyal following throughout their hometown of Joliet, Illinois and into the Chicago area. The Righteous Hillbillies baptize their work in the blood of Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC, ZZ Top, and the Black Crowes while still managing to create an original and independent style. With their dynamic and fiery new album, Trece Diablos, The Righteous Hillbillies are prepared to raise the stakes from entertainment to that old time rock ‘n’ roll religion. If it doesn’t get you dancing, moving, and singing, you might as well sign your “do not resuscitate” order at the nearest opportunity.
