This is a terrific album. It simply drips musical goodness and I'm hip deep in it right now. There is not one clunker on the whole album and several groovy standards are covered along with one Reverend Horton Heat song. I cannot recommend this CD enough. Get it now....go on! We're waiting!

Reverend Organdrum is a trio made up of Jim Heath on guitar, Tim Alexander on Hammond organ & Todd Soesbe on drums. This band is a blast! Substituting organ for a bass guitarist, this combo pumps out garage rock anthems without any clinkers. The surfer version of "James Bond Theme" puts a special smile on my face. Henry Mancini's "Experiment in Terror" haunts like a twisted intruder from the 1962 film with Lee Remick & Glen Ford. Nelson Riddle's "Theme to Route 66" makes me want to jump in a Corvette & hit the road. "Hang 'Em High" with the organ front & center is such a delight. Of the two vocal numbers on this set, Jim Heath sounds like he's soused on "Ain't That a Kick in the Head," "I've sunshine enough to spread, it's true what the fellow said, tell me quick, ain't that a kick in the head?" "C Jam Blues" by Duke Ellington stretches to meet this band's wild style. Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman" pops with the organ chugging overtime. The Rascles' "Groovin'" is a favorite track with the sunny organ giving a perpetual smile. The set concludes with a cover of Booker T & the MG's "Time Is Tight." Not many (mostly) instrumental CDs (other than jazz) go gold, but Reverend Organdrum provides nonstop fun. I may have to throw a party just so I can play this CD. Bravo!

What a surprise... great music and catchy tunes... the theme from James Bond is great!!! Loved Night Trane also! This is a keeper!

I often purchase artists I've never heard of just because the marketing was done well. This CD is one of the times I got something of value. I like jazz and rock and this is somewhere in between, all instrumental. I like it. I dare you to try it. What have you got to lose?

I wish I drank again. This CD would be on when I did. Good music. One of the few artists that I can listen to more than 1 CD at a time. If you need some party music - here it is!

This is the kind of music to be sipped with your - freezin cold! - favorite beer. Alone or with your best friends.

A great band, with amazing musicians and lots of rock, soul and funk snacks. An irresistible fat temptation for Hammond fans and instrumental music enthusiasts.

If this is your business (more rock, less jazz), then also try bands like Link Quartet, Sven Hammond Soul, Alan Hawkshaw (The Mohawks), Captain Hammond, Big Organ Trio, McLemore Avenue, The Men from SPECTRE ...
