Spend a Night in the Box is the sixth album by The Reverend Horton Heat.[7][8] It was released by Time Bomb Recordings in 2000.[9]
The album, produced by Paul Leary, was recorded at Pedernales Studios, in Texas.[1][10] Jim "Reverend Horton" Heath played a 1954 Gibson ES-175 on the album.[11]
Exclaim! called the album "good, basic, well-produced country and swing-influenced rockabilly."[1] The Austin Chronicle panned the "Gap-ready numbers like 'Sleeper Coach Driver' and 'Hand It to Me'," writing that "one Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is more than enough."[12] Trouser Press wrote that "The Rev relocated his songwriting mojo for an album full of tasty rockabilly, swinging grooves and good old-fashioned stomp."[2] CMJ New Music Report deemed it "a skillfully choreographed saloon rumble of an album."[10]
All songs written by Jim Heath except as noted.
