“Rock and roll is self taught, “Jim Dickinson told
Relix Magazine. “I really believe it’s something you grow
out of yourself and your environment.”
“Southern rock/blues purveyors Hill Country Revue
released their second album, Zebra Ranch, on October 12th
via Razor & Tie. The album is everything and more a band
could hope for when recording their sophomore album;
progressing artistically, creating a defining sound, and
coming together with a unity that cannot be manufactured.
“While never departing from the blend of Southern rock
and blues that Hill Country Revue is known for, the band
does expand upon their musical range on this record. As
opposed to the more bluesy sound on their debut album
Make A Move, Zebra Ranch is more rock. “Make A
Move was an artistic transition, and this album is a
personal one,” bandleader Cody Dickinson said.
“Zebra Ranch is our‘we have arrived’ kind of party....
This album is a yell of rock and roll rebellion,” said
Cody. “It’s also a loud cry for purpose, meaning and
truth – straight from the soul.”
The album is a tribute to Cody’s father, legendary
producer and musician Jim Dickinson, who passed one
year ago. The album title comes from the name of Jim’s
home recording studio, where both Hill Country Revue
albums were created. “Being an artist himself, he was
always producing, even in absentia,” Cody spoke of Jim.
“He continues today,and this record is in his memory.”
