Sour Mash is the second album by Australian blues rock band Beasts of Bourbon which was recorded in 1988 and originally released on the Red Eye label.




Reception



In the review on Allmusic, Skip Jansen states "With The Johnnys and Scientists both calling it a day just prior to Sour Mash, the collective creative forces were pooled to make the Beasts of Bourbon's landmark in which remains their prime document. A raw blues-rock album with post-punk afflictions ... With the enigmatic Tex Perkins, who could be one of rock & roll's last great frontmen, and the blistering slide-guitar-driven sound, the band does a fine job of re-creating the sound of a twisted night out at the pub".
