"THE REVTONES HIT PAY DIRT ON THEIR FIRST CD"
"A 10-song track list was the first hint that something good might be lurking in the RevTones'' debut CD. The band has been playing regularly over the past two years, sometimes doing three sets a night. They are primed and pumped with material, yet they held the CD to ten tracks, none of which are over four minutes and half are under three. Thed self-titled it The RevTones but Skimming the Cream would have worked just as well. Think or it as a greatest hits CD, except that it''s only their first.
"Ghost Train" kicks the CD off with a haunting ditty about a mystery train that collects the souls of those who loiter on its tracks, but the mystery soon dissolves into a romp on the CD''s one cover tune, Bob Dylan''s "From a Buick 6," with the immortal chorus, "If I fall down dyin'', y''know she''s bound to put a blanket on my head," busts through the speakers. "Mean and Evil" combines humor and insight as a song about a real good for nothin'', lyin'', cheatin'', credit limit bustin'' woman. The only catch is that before the singer tosses the beeyatch out of his life, he''d like her to make him a grilled cheese sandwich, not so much to demean her but to make the point that his own self-absorption cost him dearly.
Of course this being a rockabilly band its attention would eventually stray toward that lady who''s looking so fine that you can almost smell the perfume wafting from the rockabilly filly with the string of white pearls on a "Polka Dot Dress." And being a rockabilly band, trouble is never far away as the woman''s jealous husband Crazy Pete and the police are out to get the hep cat living too close to the edge in "Frying Pan into the Fire."
"Red Tree Road," which closes the CD is a high octane murder ballad. Lead singer and guitarist Randy Schmidt seems to fly with a simple but deadly guitar lick over the backbeat of drummer Marcus "Hot Rod" Edell and stand-up bassist Roxanne Chicoine. There''s no place to hide when you''re in a trio and with a CD like this, there''s no need to hide anything anyway.
