The Reverend Horton Heat is perhaps the most popular psychobilly artist of all time, really rivaled only by genre founders the Cramps. TheReverend(as both the three-man band and its guitar-playing frontman were known) built a strong cult following during the '90s through constanttouring, manicshowmanship, and a twisted sense of humor. The Reverend's true innovation was updating the psychobilly sound for the alternativerock era. In hishands, it was something more than retro-obsessed kitsch -- it had roaring distorted guitars, it rocked as hard as any punk band,and it didn't lookexclusively to pop culture of the past for its style or subject matter.
