Liquor in the Front (subtitled Poker in the Rear) is the third album by The Reverend Horton Heat. It was jointly released by Sub Pop and Interscope Records in July 1994. Al Jourgensen (of Ministry-fame) produced the album.
The song 'In Your Wildest Dreams' (along with 'The Reverend' himself) was featured in a Homicide: Life on the Street episode from season four, entitled 'Full Moon'. In addition, 'I Can't Surf', 'Baddest of the Bad' and 'Big Sky' appeared in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground and Free Willy 3: The Rescue respectively.
The album title is from a double entendre, 'Liquor ('lick her') in the front, poker ('poke her') in the rear'.
