From Jim Heath, the man who brought us the perennial sell-out-show-playing, psychobilly-genre-defining, world famous Reverend Horton Heat, comes Reverend Organdrum. The RHH side project features Tim Alexander on Hammond B-3 organ and Texas local Todd Soesbe on drums to form this soon-to-be-legendary organ trio. Just think, the chops of a vintage jazz organ trio and the attitude of Reverend Horton Heat at their pomade-flinging best.

Alexander, a five-time Grammy Award-winning keyboardist with country music icons Asleep at the Wheel and Reverend Horton Heat studio alumnus, posed the idea to Heath as a way to improve his already mythic guitar chops. Always one to challenge himself, Heath jumped at the chance to play with his musical mentor and branch out into other vintage roots music styles.

Reverend Organdrum finds The Rev and his axe work in a more laid-back mood, another side to the musical mind that brought you the teeth-chattering guitar work-outs of "Psychobilly Freakout" and "Bales of Cocaine." While nestling comfortably in the cozy groove of Alexander and Soesbe, Heath's signature style still gleams while he morphs his attacking style into greasy back-beat funk. But make no mistake, this isn't RHH lite. Jim and the boys blast blues and rockabilly covers, albeit with a more genteel, countrypolitan flair that's more martini than corn liquor.

Hi-Fi Stereo covers the pantheon of hipness, dosing out greasy soul, funk, blues, lounge, rockabilly and just about everything else that sounds best dripping from a 45rpm in the wee hours. The band puts their own dirty spin on classics ("Honky Tonk"), TV/movie themes ("James Bond Theme") and vintage soul-jazz nuggets ("Groovin"). Hi-Fi Stereo swings with an in-the-pocket cool, showing us yet another side of the force of nature that is…The Reverend Horton Heat.
