For almost 30 years, Jim Heath has been creating unique rockabilly sounds under the moniker of Reverend Horton Heat. Fromhis humble beginnings in Dallas' Deep Ellum district, to song placement in video games and thousands of live performances, "The Rev" has carved his stage name into the pillars of Texas music and beyond.
Jim took time out of his busy schedule to speak with Notably Texan about topics ranging from the origin of his stage name, his fond memories of 1990's Deep Ellum, and the back stories for some of our favorite songs to play on Notably Texan.
Several examples of The Revered Horton Heat's music are also featured during this in-depth discussion.
