  • Bio

    This is purely a fan site. This site is commended and has validation from Wagoneers lead singer Monte Warden . ************************************************************************************************************ The Wagoneers were a four piece band from Austin, TX . They were signed to Herb Alperts major label A&M in 1988 , and recorded two momentous albums " Stout & High " 1988 & " Good Fortune " in 1989 . Both of these albums were recorded in Nashville and produced by Emory Gordy JR and also included additional musicians Herb Alpert - Trumpet , Glen Duncan - Fiddle , Glen D Hardin - Piano , Emory Gordy JR - Mandolin/Guitars , Sleepy La Beef - Lead Guitar on " I Can't Stay " and Kayton Roberts - Steel Guitar . They started causing a buzz and one hell of a stir on the Austin music scene in the mid 80's and quickly gained respect from country music traditionalists and Rockabilly's officianado's . All the songs on both albums were Wagoneers originals , written predominantly by Monte Warden . A great live band who decided, then succeeded, to blow the cobwebs from the static Nashville hat scene; making appearances on TV's Austin City Limits , an appearance on Hank Wangfords A to Z of C & W on a Channel 4 Honkytonk special in 1987 (which included an interview & two live performances from Austin City limits) & three promo videos ( I Wanna Know Her Again - Help Me Get Over You & Sit A Little Closer ) all aired on CMT ( and can be viewed at WWW.CMT.COM ) and some legendary live performances all over the USA . ************************************************************************************************************ Austin city favourite Monte Warden provided Vocals & Rhythm Guitar .
