Now here's a guy who gets around… musically, that is. Slim Richey is an icon in central Texas music, performing with Leeann Atherton, Back Porch Vipers, and other well concocted formations. Richey offers two of his releases here. First, with Leeann Atherton, you'll get "SLIM RICHEY and LEEANN ATHERTON PRESENT A DREAMBAND - LIMITED EDITION." This nine-cut slimline offers some great classics like "Straighten Up And Fly Right" and "Sweet Georgia Brown." Leeann Atherton carries the vocal duties on this one as Slim and a host of others round out Slim Richey's Dream Band. The offering from the Back Porch Vipers project is "LIGHT UP- WE NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH FUN." Old Timey rhythms from the 1930's era are the order of the day on this fourteen cut gem that is themed on the subject of songs about the substances in our lives. Songs about alcohol, marijuana, and the like have always been with us, even way back before WWII. Here they are. Great songs like "The Stuff Is Here" and "Lotus Blossom" which were originally written about illegal substances are peppered with other great songs of the day such as "Caldonia." Great roots music, expertly performed and well produced by Slim Richey and Chip Dolan… yes that Chip Dolan. So sit back and listen to "Reefer Man" and enjoy yourself… especially "If Youse A Viper."
