InfluencesBrand new influence... brand new album... available April 15!

"Someone’s Got to Pay"

Sounds Like"...a frantic combination of old-timey string band and vintage honky tonk music with a lot of joyful style and high energy... Their playing was like an old Buick sliding around a sharp mountain on two wheels. These guys must be seen to be believed." -- freighttrainboogie.com

"From afar, they resemble a collection of country-themed bobblehead dolls gathered around the microphone, furiously pounding out the honky-tonk tunes." -- No Depression

"Known for a foot-stomping, fiddle-shredding live show, this Kansas City quartet delivers quite the good time on its latest." -- Country Standard Time

"This quintessential old time acoustic quartet celebrates all that was once right and good about country music." -- Patchchord.com

"Listen, folks, this is the single best dang twang disc I've heard all year..." -- Joe Sixpack's Hillbilly Record Riot, slipcue.com

"The Wilders are unstoppable. When a band generates this kind of juice without plugging in, they can set up anywhere and incite a crowd to riot. These cats throw down, hard." -- puremusic.com

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse



Nov 6 2009 11:12 AM

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..? 

(C) David Franks 2003

Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.

"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.

For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".

Warm regards
