Reviews:

  The deVillebillies new CD has captured the band’s traditional country roots & created a Honky Tonkin, Texas Swingin, Rockabillying Down Home Country Party and made it all their own. The brand new original songs Cigarettes & Beer, Truck Drivin’ Woman & Cowgirl Butts already sound like Country Classics.
The deVillebillies are the "real deal"… they’ve brought back the art of real country songwriting.
Check out their "turbo twanged" CD & join the party!!

  Here in Wisconsin we put a little oomph in our country music.  A little more bass, a lot more drums, and one hell of a lot more fun than our Southern cousins.  This is the perfect example of Good Ole Wisconsin Bar Band Country music!  ...it is a fantastic collection of barroom anthems.  My personal favorites on this CD are Truck Drivin' Woman, Coal Miner's Cocaine, Cowgirl Butts (Drive Me Nuts), and Sandstone Steps.  You can feel the heat of this revved up twang machine in every song.  the deVillebillies have the high octane juice to make this style roar to the top!

  I listened to your Coal Miner's Cocaine and I'm still laughing.  My day job is a pharmacist.  Yep, I sell drugs to support my music habit.  I've heard several great songs of that theme (Steve Earle's Oxycontin Blues, Old Crow Medicine Show's songs, etc) and I would say you guys are right there amongst 'em.

You'll be spiritually enhanced by songs like Coal Miner's Cocaine, Party in the Trailer Park, and my favorite, Cowgirl Butts (Drive Me Nuts)

1.  Truck Drivin' Woman          D. Hall          c2008
I was drivin' down I-94 when I felt that tire blow    So, I limped my car on over to the side of the road
Couldn't find my spare tire    Didn't know how to work the jack   
I was just about to cry when I heard that semi turnin' back

Out of that big rig stepped a woman twice my size    She had my flat tire fixed in the wink of an eye
I tried to flip that girl a twenty    But my cash wasn't enough
She got me up in her sleeper    Now I think I'm in love

    She's a truck drivin' woman got a big load in the back    A chain drive wallet and a hint of a moustache
    Cowboy boots tight jeans and greasy hair up on her head    She delivers the goods when she gets you into bed

Now I'm used to datin' bleach blondes and skinny model types    But they ain't never did what that trucker did that night
She used her big ol' belt buckle and a rusty tire tool    And taught me things she said she learned in truck drivin' school

    Now she's my truck drivin' woman got a big load in the back    A chain drive wallet and a hint of a moustache
    Cowboy boots tight jeans and greasy hair up on her head    She delivers the goods when she gets you into bed

2. Two Step Plan          T. Grinde          c2008 ASCAP Desk Top Publishing Co.
When I looked in the mirror this morning, I didn't see much hair    Seems like yesterday therewas a whole lot more up there
No creams, no sprays, no lotions will improve my scalp    But I know what to do that'll really help

    I take the first girl who makes it look like she can        Help me hit the dance floor like she don't give a damn
    Just twirlin' her around makes me feel good again    Yeah the only thing that helps me is a Two Step Plan

Doctor tells me "Elmo you're drinkin' too much beer"    but I say "Doc I only fill it up to here"
He says "Ya keep on goin' you're gonna wind up dead"    So i set my glass down and you know where I head

    Chorus          instrumental solos          chorus 2X

3. Coal Miner's Cocaine          C. Robson          c2008
Grandpa was working in that mine number nine    When the fire burst under the ground
He made it to the surface with a broken back    But some of them ain't never been found

So his mining days were over and his working days too    He sat home and fought throught he pain
But he found a little something that would cut the edge    And we call it Coal Miner's Cocaine

    Coal Miner's Cocaine is bringing the cash    Selling them little pills
    The cops don't like it    But Grandpa wouldn't mind    It's a prescription that will pay your bills

The day that Grandpa died just sitting on the porch    His pills spilled out on the ground
So I keep refilling coal miner's cocaine    And his body ain't never been found

Every Friday night I head out of the woods    To the Interstate in the fast lane
I reckon city folks are crazy but they got that money    And I sell them coal miner's cocaine

    chorus

I learned a couple things from the mining men    Hell's a hollow hole in the hills
And coal miner's cocaine as a retirement plan    Is a prescription that will cure your ills

    chorus

4. Sunday Morning Outlaw          D. Hall / C. Robson          c2008
I remember Sunday mornings when I was just a kid    The smell of fryin' bacon wakin' up my head
Waylon and Willie on that kitchen radio    I thought Lukenbach Texas might be the place to go

Even though my friends couldn't stand that stuff    I'd wake up early Sunday mornin' I couldn't get enough
Of the man in black on that kitchen radio    I thought Jackson might be the place to go

    For six days a week I played the Stones    I couldn't even let my buddies know
    Come sunrise Sunday mornin' I'd be in my Momma's kitchen    Diggin' on that country radio

I like that drivin' rhythm and those screamin' guitars    I listened to the eight tracks, I listened at the bars
To that old Buck Owens on my pickup's radio    I thought Bakersfield might be the place to go

    For six days a week I played Van Halen    While secretly I was learnin' Waylon
    Come sunrise Sunday mornin' I'd be in my Momma's kitchen    Diggin' on that country radio

Every time I dropped a quarter into a jukebox slot    I played something greezy, I punched in something hot
I wanna get whiskey bent and hell bound 'cause Bocephus told me so    I though Nashville Tennesee might be the place to go

    Now for six days a week I play the outlaws    Strap on my guitar and let 'er go
    Come sunrise Sunday mornin' I'm still in my Momma's kitchen    Diggin on that country radio

5. Cigarettes and Beer          T. Grinde        c2008 ASCAP  Desk Top Publishing Co.
Everyone's got a hobby, I guess that's true    For most guys it's their girlfriend, that's all they ever do
If you decide to leave me, well I've got a different view    I'll break out the smokes, and ice down the brew

    Smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' beer    That's how I spend my time when you're not here
    So don't hurry back, because it's clear    I sure like smokin' cigarettes and drinkin' beer

Baby's got an attitude, you're always right    And we've been known to go many rounds long into the night
But if you go stormin' out, and I hear that door slam tight    I'll be glad to satisfy my other appetite

    chorus          instrumental solos          chorus

6. Cowgirl Butts (Drive Me Nuts)          D. Hall        c2004
That country club lady sure looks fine    Wearin' Christian Diore while she's sippin' white wine
Or takin' tennis lessons in a little white skirt    When her husband's gone she loves to flirt
She loves to brag about all her Daddy's money    But that don't mean a damn thing to me

    Give me a redneck girl in tight blue jeans    The painted on kind if you know what I mean
    I don't care about diamonds pearls and such    But cowgirl butts drive me nuts

You know that city woman in her tailor made suit    She's got her hair pulled back, lookin' real cute
Shows off her business saavy as she shows her thighs    She knows how to work those boardroom guys
She owns a Fortune 500 company    But that don't mean a damn thing to me

    Give me a redneck girl in tight blue jeans    The painted on kind if you know what I mean   
    I don't care about stocks and bonds and such    But cowgirl butts drive me nuts

If you really wanna know what gets to me    It's a cowgirl wearin' Wrangler 14NBPs

There's an actresss out in Hollywood    She's keepin' plastic surgeons busy but she sure looks good
Doin' love makin' scenes with a leading man    Always workin' out or workin' on her tan
She's been nominated by the academy    But that don't mean a damn thing to me

    Give me a redneck girl in tight blue jeans    The painted on kind if you know what I mean
    I don't care about Oscars Emmys and such    But cowgirl butts drive me nuts

7. Sandstone Steps          C. Robson          c2008
I was minding my own business in this bar outside of town
The night Sonny took his pool cue and laid that drunkard down
And I saw the whole thing happen; I was heading for the door
When that drunken out of towner came up looking for some more
And I didn't see the sheriff as I lit into that man
And that's the week that I spent three days in the Douglass County can

This punk kid in a MoPar cussed my beat up old Chevelle
So I chased him down the highway like a bat straight out of hell
I saw the red lights flashing    I felt like having fun
Suddenly I'm piled up staring down a cold, black gun
My efforts to explain things fell to no avail
And that's the month that I spent three weeks in the Douglass County Jail

Scooter owed me $40 so I made a midnight stop
I'm pulling off his sixties and look up and saw the cop
WellI'm only helping Scooter, sir, his bearings need some grease
But I didn't know his wife was the doggone sheriff's niece
That Black robed judge was listening, but he didn't hear my point
And that's the year that I spent six months in the Douglass County Joint

I'm a little short of money what from paying my court fees
So Pedro got me driving hauling Japanese TV's
Just this side of Rockford    That rig starts running hot
How was I to Know it wasn't Sonys, it was pot
And the DEA's all waiting    I'm in court again
That's how I got ten years in the Sandstone Federal Pen

8. Party In The Trailer Park          D. Hall          c2008
It was a Friday evening after work    there was nothin' much to do   
I thought I'd have a couple of beers and fire up the barbeque
My neighbor from two trailers down asked "would you mind if I joined you?"
Then he drove down to the liquor store and bought a case of Red White and Blue

While he was gone I got a call from a woman across the street
She said "I see your Weber's gettin' hot I got a freezer full of meat"
"My daughter and her college friends are here and they're gettin' bored"
I said "I don't mind if they got time and there's always room for more"

    Fire up the grill ice down the beer the neighborhood's comin' out to play
    We'll light tiki torches on our redwood porches to keep the mosquitos away
    The trailers will be rockin' that's all I've got to say
    We'll build a bonfire after dark    And have a party in the trailer park

The guy next door said his son plays bass in a redneck rock and roll band
The next thing I knew some long hairs pulled up in a smoke-filled, rusted-out van
They set up in my carport    powered by an old extension cord
Threw some plywood down and spread some sawdust 'round
For a makeshift hardwood floor

The band was loud the beer was cold the food and the girls were hot
Those coeds they were goin' wild and started pullin' off their tops
The cops showed up and arrested me but before they could take me in
I yelled y'all come back tomorrow we're gonna do this again

    Fire up the grill ice down the beer the neighborhood's comin' out to play
    We'll light tiki torches on our redwood porches to keep the mosquitos away
    The trailer's will be rockin' I wouldn't have it any other way
    We'll build a bonfire after dark and have a party in the trailer park
