Hickoids - Out Of Towners [CD]

2016 release. The Out Of Towners is the final recording by the Hickoids featuring Austin punk legend and guitarist Davy Jones. Jones played every major and minor venue in the city from the late '70s - until cancer sidelined him in 2014 - with a list of bands that included The Next, Bigfoot Chester, The Dicks and others in addition to the Hickoids. Jones was inducted to The Austin Music Hall of Fame three different times, the last being under his own name in 2016. The collection of covers written by Texas artists including Willie Nelson, Roky Erickson, Terry Allen and Doug Sahm was recorded while Jones was gravely ill but still showcases his rough and tumble, off-the-wall guitar stylings and will be of interest to anyone who favors the underground side of Texas Music.
