The Axeman's Jazz
The Axeman's Jazz is the debut album by Australian alternative rock band Beasts of Bourbon which was recorded in October 1983 and originally released in 1984 on the Green/Big Time label. Reception. In the review on Allmusic, Kathleen C. Fennessy said "Considering how little time was actually spent on recording it, "The Axeman's Jazz" is a surprisingly accomplished debut. If not quite as successful as 1988's follow-up, "Sour Mash", it remains an energetic collection of grungy swamp rock with a side of countrified blues". In 1991, Perkins said, "We stretched doing  Pycho out for as long as possible because we knew people liked hearing it, but we won't be doing it anymore. Every show we hear the familiar cry of 'Ten Wheels for fucking Jesus... ya cunt!' We haven't done it in fuckin' five years but someone will always ask for it. It's a really dumb fuckin' thrashed out piece of hillbilly idiocy." Track listing. All songs by Spencer P. Jones and Tex Perkins except where noted
