2nd Time Around
Jim Heath & Jimbo? You better be. Ready for another hell-raising sermon by Mr. And let's not forget Taz, who admirably mans the drum kit. "The Full-Custom Gospel Sounds" is the 2nd by The Reverend & also the 2nd release on Sub Pop.

It's got 12 ferocious & funny tracks that makes it clear just how good this band really is. "Wiggle Stick," [. . . ] & "Bales of Cocaine" are all-time classics. Not only can Mr. Heath play as hard & as fast as you want but he knows how to tone things down for his more tongue-in-cheek songs. Bottom line. . . it's pure psychobilly & pure fun. So open up your wallet, grab a few green backs & go get yourself a copy. I promise it'll be less than [. . . ] and well worth it.


variable, from fantastic to boring
loaded gun is one of my all time favorites, since i saw the movie love & a 45, but the tracks on this album varies too much for my taste, though it varies from brilliant to boring and that's saying something.


Full Custom Gospel Awesomeness
At the height of the grunge craze, when Sub Pop ruled the world in '93 or so, a friend played me this album. This album was the first I'd ever heard from Reverend Horton Heat. I'd never heard anything like it; a modern version of rockabilly that made the Stray Cats look like Perry Como. All these years later, I have now owned about 4 copies of Full Custom Gospel Sounds, plus a few more RHH albums, none of which have the pure rock n roll energy that this one has. My personal highlights are 400 Bucks & Wiggle Stick. Definitely THE Rev Horton Heat album to buy .


the reverend's finest hour
The sound on this one is pretty raw and the music jumps out of the speakers and grabs you by the throat. A fantastic album with great songs and God-like guitar playing. I have no problem admitting that I've played air guitar to "Devil's Chasing Me" on more than one occassion.


Rockabillyness is next to godliness
Don't listen to anyone who says anything bad about this album. . This is the first reverend album I ever bought, It's the one I've listened to the most, and it is still hands-down the best. Smoke em if ya got em is a tad sophmoric, though it was a brilliant start, liquor in the front is a little harder (can you say Al Jourgenson) and lacks a little of the rockabilly feel but is probably the second best. . . martini time and space heater begin to waiver and get a little pop and we aren't going to talk about Spend a night in the box. . . . Lucky 7 tried to get back to the real Reverend feel, but we have to accept the Rev is mellowing out and getting a little older, his music is heading the way of Chet Atkins (not that that is a bad thing) but If you really wanna know what it feels like to be bombarded with pure Psychobilly fury you buy this album! Jim Heath is one of the most talented guitar players on the planet, Jimbo Wallace plays the fastest slap bass I know and this album hits hard. . . . Go buy a bowling shirt and an old car. . . . then pop this cd into your deck and just crank it and drive. . . . The Reverend is a God among men. . . . he makes lesser guitar players quiver and every track on this cd is perfect. . . . no question. . I've listened to a lot of Rockabilly, Psychobilly and Swing and heard some great friggin bands (side note check out Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Phonics) but I always come back to the Rev cause he knows what it's all about. . . fast cars, fast woman, booze, drugs, steak, Satan, Texas, and Rock and Roll!.
