The Harbortown Bobber Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Just as The Harbortown Bobber is a companion documentary to 2005’s Choppertown: The Sinners, the accompanying soundtrack picks up where Choppertown: From the Vault: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack left off. It opens with bike builder Scott Di Lalla speaking about the journey from a skeletal frame to a finished motorcycle. Then The Lords of Altamont recall the heyday of poster artist Frank Kozik’s bygone record label Man’s Ruin with “Action,” a hearty slice of '60s-inspired West Coast, biker-born garage rock. The band's following track, “Faded Black,” delivers a harder-hitting number with lots of reverb and psychedelic tremolo guitar. The Cannibal King kicks down rockabilly thunder for the title track before Hellbound Glory’s “Livin’ This Way” leans on honky-tonk juke-joint rock of the '50s. The Hypnomen rock out with the retro, organ-grinding instrumental “Altamont Boogaloo.” The album’s gem belongs to J. Tex’s “Omie Wise,” which plays like authentic Appalachian mountain folk music.
