What More Could You Ask For


Hillbilly Soul Surfers
Hot Damn BoBo
1995




"Hillbilly Soul Surfers guitarist Sherman LeRoi wrestles a drool-worthy array of retrophilic gear, including a Guitorgan, a plastic Hagstrom, all the right Fender amps, plus stand alone reverb units and a Leslie. He knows how to use it - the L.A. combo's debut, Hot Damn BoBo, is a pornocopia of sexy period tones, all glistening with honest low wattage amp sweat. LeRoi and company live up to their name, adding rockablilly and '60s Memphis soul seasonings to the surf stew. They rely heavily on familiar cover tunes but freshen them with clever stylistic shell games, tearing through a rockabilly-fueled 'Pipeline' with Cliff Gallup panache and reinventing 'Penetration' as Steve Cropper and the MG's might have played it."
