Album Notes
By CdBaby/Jeff Howell
This CD came about purely by accident. Bubba "Whoopass" Wilson (tenured musician and radio personality on The Monsters of the Morning - Orlando) started gigging around to supplement radio money. He was playing with Dan Walters (bass - and any other instrument - virtuoso) and Tom "The Bomb" Holysz (Beat Master / Wooly Bully singing b****!) Starting back, he was having a hard time with losing his voice after the first set. Rick Bailey (guitarist / producer / alcohol badger) suggested to Bubba, "Let's get Jeff in the band. He can't sing worth a shit but he never loses his voice!"
And, so I joined.
Being formerly with the radio show myself, we decided to do a CD of songs (mostly comedic in nature) that we had done on the show, but only in the most basic form (live and acoustic). One of the songs that had not been written yet was one that had been suggested to Bubba by the Sexy Savannah (also formerly with the radio show). That song was "Rebel Flag Bikini." Bubba had only one line for the song that he had been cultivating for about four years (the "heritage not hate" one). After several attemps, Rick finally came in with the music and the "classic" opening guitar lick. And, the song was birthed!
We tweaked the song and it soon became the favorite, and the "hit" of the CD.
The two Cajun songs on the CD were also long time cultivations by Bubba that he had never quite finished. We buckled down and slapped some lyrics on them (and a kick-ass wash board, if I say so myself!!!).
This CD is a dream for Bubba, Rick and I to be working together again. Bubba and I were in a 50's band called "Clutch" all through the late 70's and early 80's. And we met and worked with Rick for several years at Creative Engineering, the company that supplied the mechanical characters, writing, music, voices, and production for all of the Show Biz Pizza chain outlets around the world in the 80's.
This CD is a tongue an ignorant homage to Southern Rock, Blues, and Country. It's pretty damn fun!
Enjoy.
