Review

The Kentucky HeadHunters aren't a remarkable country mutation, just a top-notch Southern rock band with a sense of humor. "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" is the kind of clever novelty that won't work twice; "Big Mexican Dinner" is a novelty that doesn't even work the first time. Once again, the country and bluegrass covers -- "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line," "With Body and Soul" -- are the highlights, and most of the originals (the Beatlesque shuffle "Always Makin' Love" aside) are offbeat, adequate filler. ~ Brian Mansfield, All Music Guide

The album features four covers: "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line" (originally by Waylon Jennings), "With Body and Soul" (originally by Bill Monroe), "Spirit in the Sky" (originally by Norman Greenbaum) and "The Ballad of Davy Crockett", a 1950s pop standard.
