A friend of mine picked this album up and had me listen and I was knocked out! I don't know if any of you remember the Butthole Surfers but this is the bass player's new band. That is where the similarities end! This is southern-style, good old fashioned, beer drinkin' rock! If you like Ted Nugent, Thin Lizzy, Kiss, Beer, Roadsaw, or Novadose you'll have to pick this one up! The name of the first song on the record is "Don't Shoot Baby I Love You" need I write more?

I first heard of HONKY after I finished my enlistment in the Marine Corps. I'm from NY, but had friends in TX so I decided to move to Austin, TX and work down there for a few years. A co-worker/friend of mine who, like me, is a big hardcore punk/metal/rock n roll fan told me about them and we went to a show. It was love at first sight, just straight up a** kicking southern rock mixed with Jim Beam, Cold Beer and a little THC. During the 2 years I spent in Austin I literally saw them play every other weekend, it's the only thing I really miss about that place.

So.... if you're into that old school southern rock feel this band is definitely for you...

I actually saw these guys after getting this album. I saw them at a small venue in SF, California. The have a great sound, with attitude and raw talent. They are from Texas so they have a southern feel to it, but to me they are just a good ol Rock n Roll band! Good cd and fun lyrics!

You see, you have a '71 Chevy with some rust and a good engine, your baby's squeezed up against you tight, and there's a tallboy Lone Star between your thighs. Things are lookin' mighty good 'cause you got a bag of weed in the glove box and a shotgun behind the seat, the road's long and straight, and tonight's bowlin' night. If that ain't enough, there's a new Honky CD in the player, a transmission from the Church of Everlastin' Glorious Bliss, the Gospel according to Southern Gentlemen, Rock and Roll you only find around cactus and Mexican food.
