A thematically-appropriate followup to 1994's <I>Liquor in the Front</I>, this EP finds the Texas tornado in a (somewhat) subdued mode. But even though the pedal is off the metal, the party remains in full swing since Rev. Jim Heath can't help but be the host with the most, an attitude that shines through on low-key loungers like "That's Showbiz." And while the disc does lack the over-the-top energy of earlier releases, the Rev. and his disciples haven't totally disavowed the psychobilLy gospel: for all its suave veneer, the title track still sounds more like an invitation to quaff a cuppa moonshine than an iced cocktail. <I>--David Sprague</I>

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars a mixed bag.......2006-01-18

There are some great songs on this one, notably "Big Red Rocket of Love" and the title track, but a lot of it feels like filler. "Crooked Cigarette" and "Generation Why" really don't go anywhere and also suffer from some of the Reverend's dumbest lyrics, and a lot of the music feels like the band is just going through the motions. There are still enough high points to make this worth it for the fans, but this album can't hold a candle to "Full Custom Gospel Sounds" or "Liquor in the Front".

3 out of 5 stars Reverend Horton Heat - 'It's Martini Time' (Interscope) 3 1/2 stars.......2005-07-23

Basically,if you like good old fashioned straight ahead rockabilly with a 'swing' attitude,you should finding this CD appealing.I've always been sort of a fair weather fan of the Reverend and his rocking trio.This disc is probably one of two of his titles I even have a copy of.The absolute best cut here is without a doubt in my mind "Now,Right Now" with other notable tracks being "Big Red Rocket Of Love"(sounds like a South Park episode,doesn't it?),title cut "It's Martini Time",the foot-stomper "Rock The Joint" and "Forbidden Jungle".

4 out of 5 stars Who says it's not good??.......2002-06-19

This is the second of the Rev's albums I've bought, and despite what the other reviewers thought, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I must say it's not as good as "Smoke 'em..." but I loved it nonetheless. Great guitar licks and tongue-in-cheek lyrics make for a great listening experience.

5 out of 5 stars All praise the Reverend!!.......2001-04-10

The Reverend Horton Heat can slam you silly. The Reverend can use his holy powers to make you swing and snap the fingers baby. What else can be said except, "Get this disc"? Some have said this is not thier best work. if this is the case you should probably get this one first and see how good thier "bad" stuff is.

Tracks like Big Red Rocket of Love, Time to Pray, and It's Martini Time are rockin', rollin' tunes that any rock fan should appreciate. Crooked Cigarette and Slingshot are of a more mellow, foot tapping speed that does a nice job of balancing out the disc.

If not for on-line mp3s, I never would have heard the stuff that makes these guys worth the money. Now I have to add the rest to my collection. Why can't radio be more like this? Donate your cash today good disciple. Support The Reverend Horton Heat.
