Behind the Magnolia Curtain Blow Your Top

Reader Reviews
A wierdo from Arkansas records a live studio session of cover songs and tributes all in one take in Memphis. Thow in a burned out teen pop star, liqour and a North Mississippi fife and drum corps. What you get is an original oddity, a one of a kind romp through the muddy delta swamp so thick with kudzu that ol' Bill Faulkner couldn't find his way back home. Tav Falco's voice is not drenched in reverb, he don't need it. LX Chilton's guitar licks are mangled out of time feedback prone and hazy. And in the background keeping everything together are the Tate County Drum corps, with their pre-Civil War era syncopation and African rhythmns, among them Jessie Mae Hemphill. This debut album finds the Panther Burns channeling and desconstructing the ghosts of the Deep South like Johnny Burnette, Leadbelly, WC Handy, Carl Perkins, Junior Wells, Jerry Lee Lewis even a little Elvis. Its a good thing this is out of print and hard to get cause most people couldn't handle such an incendiary sound.
