+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+
|                                                                            |
|  The Reverend Horton Heat may have started out as the loudest and wildest  |
|  rockabilly act in all creation, but with the passage of time, guitarist   |
|  Jim Heath and his rhythm section have mellowed quite a bit (particularly  |
|  from It's Martini Time onward), and compared to their early work for Sub  |
|  Pop, Laughin' & Cryin' with the Reverend Horton Heat sounds downright     |
|  placid. Part of this boils down to thematic issues � with two songs       |
|  about Texas, another about how intellectuals don't get people from the    |
|  South or West, and one that actually gripes about how weird death metal   |
|  guys are, Laughin' & Cryin' leaves a certain amount to be desired in      |
|  terms of imagination and originality, and even when Heath comes up with   |
|  a witty idea (comparing a busted romance to the Hindenburg on "Aw, The    |
|  Humanity" or explaining why the Good Lord isn't likely to help you at     |
|  the blackjack table in "Oh God/ Doesn't Work in Vegas"), the execution    |
|  doesn't have quite the juice that would solidly bring it across. Heath's  |
|  guitar work is still fluid and lively, but the melodies lack the energy   |
|  and hot-rodded power he used to summon with ease, and bassist Jimbo       |
|  Wallace and drummer Paul Simmons don't appear to be pushing him with any  |
|  real conviction, though they keep time just fine. A shortage of speed     |
|  and punch isn't the only major problem by a long shot � Heath's Rev.      |
|  Organdrum side project was devoted to jazz and blues-based material that  |
|  dialed down the tempo but sounded fresher and more engaged than most of   |
|  the stuff on Laughin' & Cryin', which instead plays like the work of an   |
|  act with talent to spare but not much in the way of new ideas or          |
|  inspiration. The execution is skillful enough that Laughin' & Cryin'      |
|  with the Reverend Horton Heat can get by on the impressive chops of the   |
|  players, but anyone who spent much time listening to this trio in their   |
|  heyday (or even as far back as 2004's Revival) can't help but feel a bit  |
|  let down by this album.                                                   |
|                                                                            |
