Southern Culture
on the Skids
SOUT
CULTURE
FIRST THERE WAS THE DECLINE of western
civilization. Now southern culture is on the
skids. Geez, the whole country is falling apart.
Most people strive for the big things in life.
Happiness to Southern Culture On The Skids is
a plate of fried chicken and a full tank of gas in
the Cadillac. Now if that don't mend the old
hole in your favorite long johns, then get an
earful of their folk rockin', discothequin', hillbil-
ly boogie, bluegrass, psychedelic stomp..
The unpasteurized, supersonic sound of
Southern Culture On The Skids consists of the
overhauled and overalled Rick Miller on guitar
90 THR
and vocals, honey britches Mary Huff on bass,
and the gas-guzzling Dave Hartman on drums.
Rick says if they ever decide to include a fourth
member, it's not going to be a saxophone play-
er. It's not going to be an organ player. It's
going to be a chef à la backyard barbecue-
style, cookin' up some nice and juicy big meat
and pork portions just for you.
Shake n' bake your heart out to the band's
newest hi-octane mutation Dirt Track Date.
This hoodoo voodoo swamp slab is cram-
packed full of fun stuff like "Make Mayan
A Hawaiian" and "Galley Slave" where Mary
gives an impressive impression of the sirens
who sucked men out to sea from your favorite
Hercules and Sinbad movies.
With over ten years of business in the rock
n' roll experience, Rick Miller has watched the
MTV generation grow up and has successfully
and intentionally avoided it.
When popped the popular question, Rick
informs us that there's a third part to the boxers
or briefs controversy. He says when he's on
stage, he likes to swing hard and be as free as
the breeze on a freshly sprung mornin'. Get it?
