Mitch Webb is a gifted songwriter straight from the fertile roots music melting pot of San Antonio. Webb pulled together the finest the Alamo city has to offer when he made his latest cd " The Lonely Kind." Backed by a Grammy award winning stable of players such as Joe Reyes {Freddy Fender, Flaco Jimenez, Lara and Reyes} Lloyd Herrman (Gatemouth Brown) and produced by Ronnie Morales (Texas Tornados, Flaco Jimenez, Selena..) The Lonely Kind did very well on the radio in 2008, spending 9 weeks in the Americana Music Associations Top 40 chart and also landing in the top 10 of the FAR chart!
With 4 cd’s under their belt and years of touring, you can be guaranteed a great live performance every time Mitch Webb walks on to the stage. Strong songwriting and great shows combined with the raw power of a band that has seen it all and lived to tell about it.
A few quotes:
“Mitch Webb's Tex-Mex balladeering and Spanglish twanging brings to mind being stuck driving through King Ranch on a Sunday afternoon in a pickup truck without A/C, the windows wide-open and radio cranking for a sing-a-long to pass the time.” Benjamin Ortiz / Chicago Tribune
"...combine the punk rock immediacy of the True Believers, the Tex-Mex persuasions of Sir Douglas Quintet and the seedy innocence of a million garage dwellers..." Luke / Luke Magazine
"The Alamo has already produced one genuine legend in Doug Sahm and it's now nurturing the finest Texas rock-n-roll band I've heard..." Luke / Luke Magazine
“...the Sir Douglas Quintet represents San Antonio's greatest pop hope of yesteryear, while any number of Swindles tunes could make this band known countrywide.” Benjamin Ortiz / Chicago Tribune
"Mitch Webb and The Swindles continue in the rich musical tradition of San Antonio, Texas on Lonely Kind, a blend of rockabilly, roots country and in-your-face rock and roll. Reminiscent of the early days of Sun Rockabilly, Tex-Mex ballads of Freddy Fender and Flaco Jiminez and the great rock and roll sounds of Doug Sahm. Any of these songs could propel this outstanding band into the national spotlight and the album is beginning it's rise on the R&R Americana Airplay Chart." Bill Hurley / Artists Development Co-op
