Evan Johns & The H-Bombs "Bombs Away" 1989

"Here's a link to Evan Johns And His H-Bombs "Bombs Away" from 1989. Another entertaining offering from Mr.Johns. It turns out he's a boudin man after all. Who knew? Don't forget to remind TZ readers to check out Evan's website http://www.evanjohns.net/ 'cause he's still out there makin' sweet tunes. Take care!" - Tiger Tiger
Jerry Lee Lewis worshiper (who claims to have blown his hero off the stage on a good night!) and certified lunatic of the geetar, Evan Johns simply personifies the most incendiary and rebellious elements of rock'n'roll. A teenaged Virginia hellion who apprenticed in the DC bar circuit under the legendary Danny Gatton, Johns formed the H-Bombs in 1979 and made the reelin' rockabilly 10-inch Giddy Up Girl in 1980. The H-Bombs backed Eugene Chadbourne on the berserk, twisted Vermin of the Blues before making the relatively polished and consistently superb Bombs Away. Producer (and Springsteen sideman) Gary Tallent manages to squeeze the band into a clear, vibrant framework without obliterating the trademark hog-wild spirit of Johns' best outings. - Scott McCaughey / Ira Robbins
