The psychobilly genre was made most popular in the mainstream by Reverend Horton Heat, but the history of this distinct, mutt genre goes back to a movement that began alongside punks and greasers in the 1970s and 80s. After the style’s conception by The Cramps, perhaps the most influential psychobilly albums released were those by The Meteors, who are credited with taking an idea and making it a sound. Now we can live the history of this movement, fraught with sci-fi references and grim death. The Kings of Psychobilly is a five CD boxset that takes you through the entire journey, including a nice long interview in the liner notes with the often quiet P. Paul Fenech.
