Sheb Wooley knew not what he had wrought when he did Purple People Eater - it not only overwhelmed his country music career, but created a new subgenre of rock & roll: horror rock. There are a few familiar names here, including Wooley's alias Ben Colder. The central concept of the CD is that these are all rock & roll songs hooked around some horror (or horror-related) theme. - Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
