Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

It's Cryin' Time

Reverend Horton Heat wishes you wouldn’t take them so damned seriously. So they whipped up a record that highlights their wily Texas charms, Laughin’ and Cryin’. Introducing an irreverent mix of characters — dimwitted husbands, drunken lowlifes and other assorted losers — the new batch of country-heavy tunes truly puts the psycho back in the band’s trademark psychobilly. This Sunday, May 1, Reverend Horton Heat sermonizes at the Higher Ground Ballroom with fellow honky-tonk clergymen, the Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band.
