The Reverend Horton Heat and Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears

Reverend Horton Heat, born Jim Heath in Corpus Christi, Texas, is famed for pioneering psychobilly with roaring guitars and rockabilly influences. Known for hits like "Eat Steak" and "Wiggle Stick," they gained notoriety in the '90s with major label deals and collaborations with Gibby Haynes and Al Jourgensen. Their energetic performances and humor won a cult following, with legacy cemented by albums like Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em, The Full Custom Gospel Sounds, and Liquor in the Front.

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears explore ego and war on their fifth album, drawing from Hill Country blues, cowpunk, and southern soul. Inspired by Albert King and R.L. Burnside, the album delivers soulful horns and storytelling while traversing self-reflection. Lewis aims for a complex, reflective sound.
