Prior to this new album Slick 57 (or Slick Fifty Seven) self released the records Lo-Fi Lorraine & Her Bag Of Trucks in 1998 and Drunk Life in 1999. Produced by themselves and The Big Purps, Slick 57’s latest and third effort, The Ghost Of Bonnie Parker, is a pure punk resurrection of Appalachian culture and honky tonk music.
It even looks like this new record from Dallas-based Slick 57 is somewhat of a breakthrough, especially in the Netherlands and other European countries. The Ghost Of Bonnie Parker sounds like an album that could definitely win a lot of new fans (especially with those people who think that Slobberbone is just dumb rock ‘n’ roll music and Ryan Adams is too much pop for them). Still, these Dallas boys don’t stray far from the path that other twang-minded bands, such as Slobberbone, The Bottle Rockets, Uncle Tupelo or even The Pogues, set before them.
The Ghost Of Bonnie Parker is here to haunt you with its hard drinking cow punk songs and some really catchy and rootin’ tootin’ melodies from the old days. Slick 57’s music is as raw and simple as it can be, but what else is there to expect from a band that used to work with members of Reverend Horton Heat, The Queers, Ronnie Dawson and other rock ‘n’ roll champions? This is punk music with a southern accent.
