And when the devil speaks, action is taken.
It's that simple; this is how the new album by THE LONG TALL TEXANS was created and dedicated to the devil, as reflected in the title.
THE LONG TALL TEXANS are a household name in the Psychobilly scene. The band, which was formed in Brighton, UK, in 1982, has long been at the forefront of Psychobilly. The band's leader is Mark Carew, who plays the double bass and sings. Mark has been part of the scene for a very long time. He is well-known and recognized. Younger Psychobilly fans might primarily know him from his other band, Astro Zombies.
With “The Devil made us do it!“, THE LONG TALL TEXANS have released an album that has a sad backstory; nevertheless, there was nothing else to do with the songs but to capture them for posterity on recordings. Each of the thirteen songs is a perfect song in its own right. Whether it's fast-paced wrecking numbers like “Kamikaze Killer“, country-psychobilly tracks like “Kill me“ or “Sex & Beer & Psychobilly“, which strongly leans towards The Meteors.
Everything here is just right from start to finish. Great packaging, a fantastic booklet (with the band's history), great songs, excellent production, and wonderful lyrics that come with a lot of irony and a mischievous grin. A grin that Mark Carew often displays on stage and has become part of his trademark alongside his slapping bass playing.
With this album, THE LONG TALL TEXANS have erected a monument to themselves.
