About

When <i>It’s Martini Time</i> came out in 1996, the swing and rockabilly revival was picking up steam, and it seemed that the mainstream might finally catch onto The Reverend Horton Heat. Brian Setzer would soon achieve massive crossover success with a style very similar to that of “Rock the Joint,” “Slingshot,” and “It’s Martini Time.” However, even at The Reverend Horton Heat's most amiable, <i>It’s Martini Time</i> shows grittiness that wasn’t in Setzer’s music. The album’s most exciting moment is the ironically named “Slow,” a rockabilly tune retrofitted with a speed metal engine.
