It is notable that the Colorado Goat Ropers Guild did this CD at Notably Fine Audio in Denver, because this is the finest stripped down classic country I’ve heard in a while and it stands alone very well precisely because of the clean production. Good vocals and standout instrumentation round out country lyrics that are fresher than the usual fare: “How many times must I call you back … I’m just a fool for you / Then again, I’m not. I’m a laughing martyr alone on a cross.” The 10 tracks on this CD showcase a brand of austere Americana that will appeal to almost everyone who digs a little Johnny Cash more often than not.
Band members: Wayne Russell (guitar, vocals), Charlie Russell (bass, vocals), Glenn Taylor (pedal steel, vocals), Todd Moore (drums, percussion)
Recorded and engineered by Mario Casilio and Colin Bricker at Notably Fine Audio, Denver
