Finally… After years of work, “Roots of the Rev” is finally a real record! I’ve always wanted to do an album like this – a vintage sounding tribute to some of the great musicians and artists that shaped my life and the music of The Reverend Horton Heat.

I came up with the idea to choose songs and/or artists that Jimbo and I have some type of connection too. So, this album is a culmination of almost an entire lifetime of experience with people, music and the collecting of old recording gear.

Learning music and getting, ultimately, to meet and play shows with our heroes is certainly a thrill, but now getting to do a record of some the songs that made all of this happen for me and Jimbo is an extra thrill!
