HELLABAMA HONKY TONKS Barbershop Of Death (CD)

(Part Records) 13 tracks

Since 2007, the trio from the district of Rottal-Inn has been refining its harmonious mix of traditional and revamped rockabilly with borrowings from rock'n'roll, swing, country and psychobilly, always putting the pedal to the metal.

After the successful predecessors “High Octane Hillbilly Rock'n'Roll!” (2011) and “Bang Boom Jubilee” (2012), the trio, who are also very hard-working live, have now put together 13 brand new songs, which, as usual - with the exception of the cover song “Funnel Of Love” - are original compositions.

Song titles such as “Where The Hell Did My Front Teeth Go?” or “Hillbilly Moshpit” already indicate that humor and self-irony are more important to the likeable southern Germans than scene-gracefulness. “Barbershop Of Death” is a perfect example of how versatile, confident, full of energy and sovereignty this splendidly well-rehearsed band devotes itself to its music. “Barbershop Of Death” is an all-round successful album.
