"...Instantly you can tell that with these guys and music it's a love affair, a big, lifelong passion thing. And serious. You can name the names: Hank Williams, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, George "No Show" Jones, Neil Young but not, definitely not Graham Nash, except maybe for harmonies (and good grief, they've got those harmonies sorted out. It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end, if there is any). The Clarks, a touch of Gene but loads of the great and ignored Guy. The Van Zandts, Townes, loads of Townes but a maybe a smidgin of Miami Steve too. Steve Earle? Too obvious. Tom Russell? Too wordy. John Prine? Yes, he's there, him and, you're right, Lefty Frizell, the Thinking Man's Hank Williams." (Tom Morton)

One breathy journalist described them as:
"...Harmony-saturated country buckled pop. Think of the Beach Boys singing Neil Young with AC/DC on drums and a kilted Sly Stone on bass and you’re close to one of the most successful underground bands in this part of the country."(Highland News, Dec 2005)
Matured in the Highlands and aged in a sourmash cask, The Lush Rollers forge music from calloused hands and tough tender hearts. The thinking man's drinkers, they sing from the soul of a long week just ended, through Friday night party glee to Sunday morning remorse.

All profits from the sale of this CD go to Meningitis Research Foundation.
Two year old Sofia Crockatt was suddenly struck down with Meningococcal Septicaemia in February 2007. Thankfully, after several months in hospital she managed to pull through. This little girl's strength and determination has been the inspiration for our fundraising. We chose Meningitis Research Foundation as they not only put money towards research but their mission is also to raise awareness of the symptoms of both meningitis and septicaemia. Sofia still has long road to travel, but is making amazing progress.
