Sounds Like
At first it sounds like songs you've been wanting to hear but couldn't find until right now. Later it sounds more like songs you want to hear again.
Before there was Americana or Alt.Country or Singer Songwriter or Roots Rock or any of the other record store bin labels of today; when new wave was crashing and hair bands were making video history, there was the LONESOME BROTHERS. Seven CD's full of original songs and thousands of gig miles later, there still is. From the lowliest bar in the tiniest town of Western Massachusetts to Town Hall in Manhattan and Newport RI the Lonesome Brothers put it down like it's supposed to be put down. Original, creative, pumping, swaying, digging, rocking, blues busting, curve making, straight shooting, no bullshit songs and solos. Get on the dance floor now, before the song ends, this ain't no jam band.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
I came across your page by accident on a google search and was blown away by your music, very cool indeed, frozen george and fins on a cadilcac are my fav! Hope to catch a show in mass.
Hi Guys... i'm listening right now to your song Fins On A Cadillac and it brings me back too. Thanks for doing such a great job keeping us up to date with your performances. I know you'll all create a great time at the Brass Cat in Easthampton tonight. Merry Christmas :)
