Outside of a rundown trailer, the leader of a meth empire, now a ghost, asks his son, Hamlet, to avenge his murder.
You’ll never recreate the excitement of the first time you listened to a Meteor or a Goldband record, but this is as close as you can get. 3 Eventually, he (as well as bassist Bob Norton) returned to Detroit. Enjoy Sam Bass Theater’s Shakespearean twist in Hillbilly Hamlet Adapted by Ashley Kelashian Directed by Ashley KelashianA modern rendition of Shakespeare’s epic drama set in the American South. Recorded live it contains some minor flaws but I wouldn’t trade a flawless performance for all the feeling included in this album. It’s wild, it’s raw but never in detriment to the songs (a bunch of originals like the frantic I Do What I Want When I Want coupled with covers from Al Ferrier, Johnny Burnette, Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, Eddy Clearwater).
His appearance within the otherwise sedate town of Mayberry is a sign that trouble will soon be coming for Sheriff Taylor. He nearly always behaves in an immature childish manner and is often rude and belligerent. The name says it all, it rocks but the rural roots are never far. Bass is a loud wild rowdy hillbilly with a scruffy unkempt appearance, a maniacal laugh, and a penchant for troublemaking. The Hillbilly Huxters are no exceptions to the rules. Personnel: Roy Bookbinder (vocals, guitar) Rock Bottom (harmonica) Billy Ochoa (bass).Hillbilly blues is certainly a good term for Bookbinders good-time. And most of all, he understands it (how many can say that?). Like the late Colorado genius, it is obvious that this guy does not only play rockabilly: he lives and breathes it. I probably said that before, but I’ll repeat it again and again if needed: Dave Moore and Wild Hare are the finest and best purveyors of real rockabilly music since Willie Lewis’ Rock-A-Billy Record. Still under the shock of The Hillbilly Stroll (Wild Hare WH 9002) his previous effort, I’ve received Dave Moore’s latest album with his new combo the Hillbilly Huxters with Matt Todd on double-bass and Strawback Slim on drums.
