Blues-Fueled Rockabilly, Hillbilly Rock'n'Roll

notes

The roots of the Horse Cave Trio run deep. As far back as you can trace American Music, you will find the roots of the Trio. The Horse Cave trio play what many have come to call "blues-fueled rockabilly". The band combine a lot of influences to create a sound that is totally original and yet very familiar.
The Horse Cave Trio formed in the fall of 2002. Ron DeVore had achieved success on the West Coast, Europe and Australia with his hard rockin' band Empty Set. DeVore, A true rockabilly devotee, was looking to form a straight-ahead rock-n-roll trio that would perform and record original roots rock. Ron Found the perfect partner in guitarist Lou Simon, a veteran of the Detroit music scene who has recorded and performed with several well known acts, including Jimmie Bones and the Graverobbers.
The Horse Cave Trio were named for the small town in Kentucky where DeVore parents were from. The HCT performed in Horse Cave at the annual Horse Cave Heritage Festival in September 2005. Their performance was filmed for the upcoming reality show "Small Towm Makeover".
The group released it's first full length CD entitled "Hot Rods, Choppers & Rock'n'Roll" on the Austin, Tx based Tropic Lightning label in 2004. The follow up to this successful debut is the 2006 release of "CURB SERVICE" on Embassy Hotel Records. The disc features 11 brand new original tunes which travel the American lanscape from rockabilly to gospel to country to the blues and all places in between.

    I honestly first was drawn to this cd-not only because I love Rockabilly, but also because of the Trio's name. Having spent time in and around Horse Cave, Kentucky I was intrigued. Reading the review of this cd in one of the rod magazines also spurred-on my purchase. :) I wasn't disappointed! My reason for 4/5 stars, is simply because of the mix of styles that I found on the cd. That's not a bad thing, but wasn't entirely what I would think of when I think Rockabilly. Every song was great, it just took a little getting used to being amped up on one song, and then having to switch gears on the next... Can't wait for the next cd!

    I have seen these guys three times now at The Boathouse in Saugatuck, Mi and they only continue to get better. Ron, Simon, and Tony definately know how to rock out the house!! If you`ve never had the privledge to hear them live check out HONEYBEE.... you will not be disapointed. This is one band that hasn`t forgetten how to rock and this album proves it.

  • Great Music. Love your sound.
    author: Penny

    I saw this group at the Dark Horse Brewery in Marshall, MI. Great music, great performance. Don't miss a chance to see these three guys and hear their great sound.

  • Thank you from Germoney!

    Great musik! Every Song a hit!

  • Excellent CD!
    author: Sisko

    I really enjoyed this CD, especially Roadhouse Blues, and the ballad, She's the One. Horse Cave Trio has tremendous range, and my appreciation for this grows the more I listen.

  • rock-a-billy rock and roll!
    author: James M

    Great CD. Real foot tapping music to get your blood pumping. They have an original sound and great musicianship. If you get a chance, SEE THEM LIVE!!!

  • Covers the all base between Blues, Rockabilly, Country and Rock & Roll...
    author: Jeremy Baldwin WEMU 89.1

    I was a big fan of the Horse Cave Trio's 1st CD (Hot Rods, Choppers & Rock & Roll), but "Curb Service" is a big step forward and even better. The Trio isn't afraid to spread their wings stylisticaly and they easily cover all the musical bases between Blues, Rockabilly, Country and plain old Rock & Roll. Highlights include an ode to the town where they take their name from, "Horse Cave Boogie" and "Castle In The Sky" which evokes a Sun Studios feel. They even have composed a song that defines their sound as well as anything: "Hillbilly Rock & Roll". The disc is well recorded with professional production and it does a good job of capturing their live show with a few cool studio touches that add to the music. Check it out and see them live.

  • Just Keeps Gettin' Better
    author: K-San

    This is an impressive collection of originals from the HCT. Simon's winding guitar work is both lyrical and scorching, while DeVore's infectious energy is well captured on this recording. Their first album rocked, but Curb Service is even more refined and shows off the band's range. This stuff will knock your Grandmomma right out of her rocking chair!

  • author: Colleen O'Grady

    Hell I ain't heard rockabilly this good since the Blaster broke up! Ain't many bands out there that can play it - Those who can DO - those who can't play all that other stuff! Keep rockin! I love you guys!

  • Five Stars
    author: Hutch

    Messed up the "star" choice in my first review . Definitely Five Stars.

  • Great driving CD...windows down, volume up.
    author: Marty Heator

    HCT tunes have a way of popping up in my iPod song shuffle right when I need a boost, and never fail to make me smile. This new CD has good grooves like the first CD, but it branches out, with a gospel-style tune and a love song. This band really delivers live; if you haven't seen them you're missing out.

  • REAL AMERICAN MUSIC!!!
    author: jon burrows

    Finally the real deal! This band delivers the goods. Every song a winner! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    author: Hutch

    Mesmerizing hook in "Groove Daddy", sinister undercurrent in "Tonight", and flat out, kick ass, Hillbilly rock and roll in "Hot Rods, Choppers, and Rock and Roll". These guys rock.

  • i dig it.
    author: Chris Badynee

    Real GOOD rock `n roll must include a sense of danger. Rock Music is an audio rollercoaster, and there's no such thing as a moderate safe feeling rollercoaster ride. Horse Cave Trio arouses a sense of danger that lures your soul to shake-rattle-and-roll with excitement.

  • This group Rocks the House, seen them a few times
    author: Skully

    In a small bar just outside of Detriot, In a packed house, The Place was Rock'n. And a bunch of girls were dancing on the bar, what a site!!! Horse Cave Trio played way past closing time. This group gets into it!!!!! You can tell it's in their blood, they JAM

  • Fantastic! On my PDA
    author: Jordan Brun

    Great stuff! Put it on my PDA so that I can listen to it over and over and over.

  • This CD Rocks, I Love the Horse Cave Trio.
    author: Kim Camacho

    This CD is full of great music. The variety of songs range from Love to total Rockabilly. I can slow dance as well as boogie down to this CD. I recommend it to everyone.
