The Beasts Of Bourbon "The Axeman's Jazz" 1984

You think I'm Psycho, don'tcha mama? The first sonic blast from this Austral indie supergroup was recorded in one afternoon by members of the Scientists (Kim Salmon, Boris Sujdovic, and James Baker), Salamander Jim (Tex Perkins and Salmon), the Hoodoo Gurus (Baker), and the Johnnys (Spencer Jones).An absolute classic. High water marks on this effort include their brilliant, haunting covers of "Psycho" & CCR's "Graveyard Train" as well as now classic originals "Love & Death", "Lonesome Bones", "Drop Out" & "Save Me A Place". Singer Tex Perkins wasn't nearly as polished in these early days, but the charisma is already evident in abundance. Good rock songs with a heavy-handed dark country undertone. Great record & the place to start if you're just getting into this incredible band... - by jRoulettetraxfromwax:
