Hello Bobby, greetings from a great fan of your music!. Our new CD „Slow Horses“ was released November 14th, available via http://cdbaby.com/cd/slowhorses2 & ITunes. Country & Americana from Germany. The british Maverick Magazine reviewed it like that: „This German band is almost certainly the best modern country outfit in Europe with the musical and vocal ability to stand side-by-side any of the major Nashville-based acts without in any way being relegated to second best“.

It doesn't get much better than a shuffle beat, a walking bass line, a crying pedal steel guitar and one heckuva voice. Nice work! When are you coming to Vancouver, Canada?
