Tav Falco & The Unapproachable Panther Burns | Panther Phobia

CD, In The Red/Sonic Rendezvous

Tekst: Alex Tobin

Publicatiedatum: 16 januari 2001

Oww! This record is shit hot. Tav Falco is the real deal, you must know. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Fat Possum Records, the Flat Duo Jets, Southern Culture on the Skids... They're all a bunch of pussies lined up next to Tav and his Panther Burns.
"We laid your mother in the back of the club and if you don't watch it, we'll ball you too in a New York instant." Somehow you get the feeling the man means it. Call it what you want: garage, psychobilly, wreckabilly, juntabilly... 'Panther Phobia' is an ace record and another instant classic from the 'In the Red' label.
According to Falco, "the Panther Burns are the missing link between the earlier forms of swamp blues' unbridled howl and the psychological onslaught of the new millennium. We are, essentially, the ditch diggers in American music."
Named after a legendary plantation located off of Highway 61 in the lower Mississippi Delta, the Panther Burns play pure energetic Memphis-style garage. Killer tracks by the likes of Jesse Mae Hemphill, Tampa Red, Howlin' Wolf, Eddie Cusic, Skip James, Johnny Carol, Charlie Feathers, R.L. Burnside, and Guitar Gable are thrown in a bag with a couple of originals, including the ten-minute diatribe workout of 'Panther Phobia: Manifesto!', namechecking Fidel Castro and Jiminy Cricket. The album heralds a welcome return to the moaning and groaning of the landmark 'Behind the Magnolia Curtain'. So, throw this puppy in the mix, crank up to 11, and get seriously ill.
