Amazon.com The Texas-based trio Reverend Horton Heat has been in dire need of a solid album, and, luckily, Spend a Night in the Box is it. The middling material that overruled the lukewarm albums It's Martini Time and Space Heater has been scrapped in favor of strictly swinging material, buoyant rockabilly, and a handful of good ol' fashioned stomp. The fun kicks in from the get-go with frontman "Reverend" Jim Heath lost inside of a paranoid Cool Hand Luke fantasy; it sounds like sweat and tastes like bourbon. Speaking of bourbon, "Sue Jack Daniels" dives headfirst into the trio's notorious psychobilly sound, upping the tempo and feedback until the whole thing boils over. Other standout cuts include the thumping "It Hurts Your Daddy Bad" and the trucker fantasy "Sleeper Coach Driver." Spend a Night in the Box, produced by Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers, is reverently retro and proudly rock & roll. --Jason Josephes Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThe Reverend NEVER Disappoints Paul M. Loughman | Delray Beach, FL USA | 03/27/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Perhaps I'm a bit biased...I saw Rev. Horton Heat at a little club near me a little over a month ago and was rendered speechless...best concert I've ever seen. "Spend A Night In the Box" is perhaps the Rev.'s magnum opus...all of his earlier CD's were integral in turning this punk/metalhead into a rockabilly junkie, of sorts, sending my music buying habits off into all sorts of uncharted directions (Hank Williams, J. Cash, BR5-49, Stray Cats, Elvis, S.C.O.T.S.). Now that I am firmly rooted in my love of all things rockabilly, and most things swing and country, it's only fitting that the Reverend and the boys have put out a disc of pure rockabilly genius this time around. I love it more and more with every listen, but I suppose that's been true of everything put out by one of the only great bands left." Holy crap this album rocks! EerieVonEvil | The Rabbit Hole | 08/28/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Its kind of hard to get a bad album from the Rev. Like their alter-ego The Cramps, each album they make is a winner. Spend a Night In The Box is a fine example. while it isnt as hard hitting as Liquer In The Front or Even Full Custom Gospel Sounds, the material is top notch. This one is the most swingin' out of all the Revs material. Definitley a 50's swing influence, totally retro! But still hip to todays standard. If you like ANY of the Reverend's material then I suggest you get this one as well. I will say tread lightly on the next two, Lucky 7 and Revival b/c they dont seem to stand out as much as all the other ones. Great driving music and I'm sure great dancing music as well. Always catchy, always good. The Reverend Horton Heat is the way to go! BTW, get ALL of The Cramp's album and you have all the best that rockabilly has to offer." His best. EerieVonEvil | 03/28/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Tough to say it, but after 4 listens end to end, "Spend A Night In The Box" is the Reverend's best album to date. Catchy, well-written rockabilly. And well-written is the key here. "Girl in Blue","Hand it to Me" and the title song are only a fraction of the stand-outs for me. There's really no weak song here. I too was worried after Space Heater - the heavy AC/DC-like riffing didn't hold up well after a few listens and a few live shows. I saw the Heat in NYC a few weeks ago and this new material had everyone nuts just like "400 Bucks", "Bad Reputation" and his other greats."
