HOMER's amazing (auto) bio:

Just an old hippy Vietnam vet harmonica player carpenter biker. Born in Memphis, Daddy played country and raced stock cars. Started performing in '62 in Coconut Grove...(played with Fred Neil, Vince Martin, Dion, Oz Bach, Bob Ingram, The Ewing Street Times, John Vandiver, Mike Smith and Barbara Barrow)... Went to the Univ. of Chicago in '64 where Paul Butterfield and Junior Wells took me under their wing and showed me how to "blow like a man".... In '64-'65 played "basket houses" in the Village (NYC), then jug band and country blues in New Orleans (The Bozo Band and Babe Stovall)... My first Rock'n'Roll band was "The Oblivion Sect"....playing blues and Yardbirds and Stones covers in Baton Rouge and the French Quarter in '65. After the Army, moved to L.A. and did studio work and recorded the album "Sure Hope You Like It" with Jeffrey Comanor. Escaped L.A. in '70 in a gypsy-wagon truck to N. Cal, played with old friends from Santa Cruz to San Francisco, and in the hippy/miner bars in the Sierra Foothills. In '72 headed to Nashville (more studio work, and rodeo and state fair tours with The Compton Bros.) Moved to Austin in '74...Played with Jerry Jeff, Willie, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, the Lost Gonzo Band, Steven Fromholz, John Vandiver and Shake Russell, Billy Callery, Milton Carroll, Rusty Weir, Billy Joe Shaver, Tommy Joe Hill & Texas Crude, Roy Head, and a lot of other great singer/songwriters. As a carpenter, I built recording studios (including Willie's Austin Opry House Studio), homes (Jerry Jeff's & others), bars, barns, banks, yacht and airplane interiors. Spent several years in Mexico and Guatemala running wood shops and sawmills and drinking too much rum. Went back to S. Fla. around ’90, played with "The Mavericks" (first two albums) and "The Volunteers" (all three albums). Built sets and props for TV and movies til 2001, then settled into a little one-man shop doing whatever came up, restoring and riding old bikes, and still drinking too much rum. In June of '09 I sold/gave away everything that wouldn't fit in my pickup and moved back to the mountains of Northern California, where I'm enjoying a quiet life, playing with old and new friends on the porch.

rockabilly hall of fame inductee
A L   H E N D R I X  
his music
and a live in the studio interview

"Al Hendrix' Rockabilly music has survived decades of Rock-and-Roll evolution and is still loved today by fans from all over the globe. The singer/songwriter was born on November 12, 1934 in Miami, Florida and his 'southern charm' is in every note he sings.


Inspired by the stars of the 'Grand Ole Opry' at a very young age, Al was destined to be an entertainer. His early work began in 1956 when Al met country legend, Buck Owens, and performed with Buck at the famous 'Blackboard Cafe' in Bakersfield, CA, until 1960. During that time Al was also hired as lead singer for 'Jolly Jody and the Go-Daddies' and recorded "Rhonda Lee” and "Go Daddy Rock" (Tally Label).

Al's recording career included many of his own songs on several different record labels. "I Need You” and "Young and Wild" were released by Liberty Records for nationwide release in 1960. "I Need You" was number one in El Paso, TX for six full weeks; and in the top 20 in San Diego, CA; while Alan Freed played "Young and Wild” on his radio show.
Signing with Pike Records was a turning point for Al, with songs like "Monkey Bite" and "For Sentimental Reasons”, which were released in 1962. "Monkey Bite" was an instant hit, but unfortunately, the song was not widely circulated because the lyrics were thought to be much too sexual. "Fooling Around" and "Jumpin' Johnny" were unissued for quite some time but were released by White Label, in Holland, in 1985.


Al took a break from recording for about 20 years, allowing him to spend time with his loving wife, Laraine (you can hear Laraine's first (and only) back-up singing debut in "Shaving Lotion"). In 2006, Al was back on the circuit and still rockin'! He decided to collaborate with producer/engineer, Jimmy Accardi, and together this dynamic duo cut a new CD, "Rare & Rockin” which brought back some old favorites but also some brand new songs.


Al was inducted into the ROCKABILLY HALL OF FAME in April of 2008. That same year Al and Jimmy Accardi produced another CD, "Rockabilly Lovin." At more recent venues, Al shined at Buck Owens' 'Crystal Palace' on February 14, 2010, rockin' out with Robert Tidwell and The Token Oakies. Then in March of 2010, Al rocked on at the Pre Viva Las Vegas show at the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. The following year, he rocked Vegas again, this time at the Viva Las Vegas (#14) Festival in April 2011, at the Orleans Casino & Hotel. In July 2011, Al jammed with The Six Gun Romeo's Rockabilly band from Vancouver, BC, Canada, at Ethel's Old Corral, in Bakersfield, CA"

The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001
2 Hour Tribute Show!!!
MOST of the bands from his book, 
PLUS an interview with author/New Bomb Turks singer Eric Davidson!
Amazon description: "This is the first and only book on the last great wave of Punk Rock. Musician and journalist Eric Davidson (Village Voice, CMJ, SF Bay Guardian) was there as this scene unfolded, tracking the inspiration and beautiful destruction of this largely undocumented movement. The Black Lips, the late Jay Reatard, The Dirtbombs, the White Stripes, the Reigning Sound, and the Hives (to name but a few) all sprang from an underground music scene where similarly raw bands, enjoying various degrees of success and hard luck, played in venues ranging from dive bars to massive festivals, but were mostly ignored by a music industry focused on mega-bands and shiny pop stars. They reveled in 50s rock n roll and 60s garage rock as much as they did Iggy Pop, the Ramones, and Black Flag, while creating their own wave of gut-busting riffs and rhythm. The majority of bands that populate this book, The Dwarves, The Gories, The Supersuckers, The Mummies, The Oblivians, Billy Childish, Rocket From The Crypt, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Cheater Slicks, Teengenerate, and The Donnas among them, gained little long-term reward from their nonstop touring and brain-slapping records. What they did get was free liquor, good drugs, guilt-free sex, and a crazy good time, all the while building a dedicated fan base that extends across America, Europe, and Japan."

HAUNTED GEORGE!!!
All his bands & projects since the late 80's, PLUS a phone interview!
From the IN THE RED records website:
Haunted George. Weird George. Uncle Ya Ya. Skullface George. Graverobber Steven. He’s known by many aliases. Haunted George, under his Christian name Steve Pallow, was a member of The Beguiled, Satan's Cheerleaders and The Necessary Evils during the 90’s. Near the new century he retired from society to the Mojave Desert where he spends his time making caskets, collecting exotic roadkill, making podcasts that have to be-heard-to-be-believed and recording nightmarish music. Exploring the one-man band format out of sheer necessity, he recorded dozens of songs (many of which are abstract/noise recordings under the name Snuff Maximus) on a 1970s era mono cassette recorder with a condenser mic inside. His music largely creepy dirges that call to mind pieces of American folklore, the extraterrestrial, the supernatural and murder. In other words, a BAD TRIP. To date he has released two albums of his home recordings, “Panther Howl” and “Pile O Meat”, on the Hook Or Crook label as well a handful of singles. 
About two years ago Haunted George decided to add ex-Necessary Evil Jimmy Hole to the “band” and started making more regular live appearances. His music remained creepy and sinister, though it now had more swing and rocked harder. The decision was made to enter a real studio to put down his latest batch of songs with his new, expanded line up. The result is American Crow. Fifteen tracks dealing with witches, decomposition, murder, death, donkeys, buzzards and roosters. In the hands of lesser talents such subject matter could be perceived as kitchy or contrived but, Haunted George is the real deal. His music is a paranoid and an altogether disturbed aural hallucination; each drum thud the lockstep of a weary fella who's lost himself in the twilight of the uninhabited desert; every space between beats a sparse landscape devoid of humanity, yet rife with fear and exaggerated panic. This is the only horror rock that matters.
 “Haunted George’s music rings with a doggerel atmosphere, a recording value that rivals an old beaten transistor, and a mood where getting your soul sucked out of your eye sockets by a roadkill coyote under the spell of a poltergeist might be a good time.” – Victim Of Time
 “Considering the other-worldly, dramatically sinister persona conjured of his music, it is almost a shame to divulge the real man behind Haunted George. Listening to this album you really want to believe there’s a grizzled Jim Thompson protagonist toiling away as a shut-in one man band somewhere out in the middle of the Mojave Desert. And in fact, that’s mostly actually the case.” – All Music Guide
The 1st half hour is the HG special...
