Description

This is an album covering some of the greatest songs ever written in the genre. Songs we have been singing and playing for years that audiences have asked so many times why we haven't recorded. So here they are, all in one place. The band members are joined by some old friends to round out the unique soaring sound that they have become known for. Check out the interplay between Henry Nagle's pedal steel lines and Doug Adamz's harmonica or the way that John Caulfield's fiddle keeps it all honest.
