Hillbillies in Hell: Volume XI / Various
Various Artists Country
LP Rel Date: 1990-10-02
Behold... A river of Booze-soaked Ballads, suicidal Anthems and Apocalyptic Slaloms. This Sulphuric collection of withered Nashville legends and battered backwoods-poets features tales of Mournful Desolation, craven Lustmords, delirious Gospel Redemptions and Philosophical Arborist-isms. Often originally waxed and distributed in minuscule amounts, these Troubled Troubadours sing of Drunken Infanticide, Suffocating Conformity, Tortured Inebriates and the all-too-easy escape of The Grave.Years in the making - 'Hillbillies In Hell' (Volume XI) presents 16 timeless tribulations - Vengeful Vigilantism, grisly Rodent Infestations, helpless Automobile Assassinations, breathless Hayseed Cosmologies and blazing faux-Sitar Ditties.A daemonic stash of forgotten 45s - some of these sides are impossibly rare and are reissued here for the very first time. All for your tawdry listening pleasure.
