I know that pretty much every review of this album is going to start off with “Yee-haw!”… but you just can’t help shouting that after listening to the latest offering from The Altar Billies. Well, “yee-haw Amen!” is more like it – Mike Stand has never shied away from the impactful spiritual lyrics that have been his staple since The Altar Boys. Stand along with Chuck Cummings and Johnny X really poured their heart and soul into this album and it shows. There are fewer Altar Boys covers this time ‘round, but the ones that are there work well. I know some people feel Rockabilly is a one trick pony genre, but Head’n Out West will proves them wrong. There are 15 songs that never get old or repetitive. Just a tad bit of the Altar Boys punk side shows through here and there, too. I highly recommend this album to fans of any good music in the rock to punk spectrum – you won’t be disappointed.
