REVEREND JIM

Wes Dodson: guitar, vocal, bass Stan Baker: drums, backing vocal Dorian Lugo: guitar, backing vocal Terry Aden: bass, vocal Milton Rush: backing vocal The turn of 1994 may have seen the unfortunate demise of Magnolia, Texas based cock rock celebration, Cheesy Drip, but with the new year also came a haphazard gathering of backass hooligans collectively referring to themselves as Reverend Jim. Around a dozen tunes were penned and were in various forms of completion when focus was redirected towards the no-budget, early production of BZ. The best preserved of Reverend Jim-era materials, “Beer for Breakfast”, and “Texas Hippie”, saw inclusion on BZ later that year. At present, no recorded document of any number of Reverend Jim staples, including “Closet Flamer”, “Get Neked”, or “Baby Cut off My Penis” are known to have survived the ages, and are regrettably feared lost to fading memories. In retrospect, “Vidor”, a ridiculous social mockery of media-induced race baiting, was itself the track the propelled the speedy, post-Cheesy Drip rebound that was Reverend Jim. That track is preserved as a live Animal House rendition in addition to its official 4-track offering.
