Honky Tonk Hangovers - Giant Country
When Dave Hall of The Honky Tonk Hangovers sings about life in the big rig, he's not speaking from a childhood spent watching reruns of B.J. and the Bear. When he was a boy, he used to accompany his big brother, Steve, on runs in an eighteen-wheeler -- which explains the Hangovers' highway-scorched rendition of Red Sovine's trucker-country valentine "Girl on the Billboard." The song is just one of a dozen and a half on the group's sophomore full-length, Giant Country. But Hall -- along with fellow singer/guitarist Jeff Yeary, bassist Donnie Jerome and new drummer Gary LaDuke -- doesn't stick to just trucks: Trains, motorcycles and that bucking bronco called love are all recognized on the disc, a stew of rockabilly, country boogie and, naturally, honky-tonk spiked with a hint of that electrified Bakersfield sound. …Live, the Hangovers have a reputation for causing spontaneous outbreaks of two-steppin', though the band insists that its newest barn burner, "The Kissing Song," was "written to inspire makeout riots at our shows." Jason Heller -Westword magazine

Marty Jones & The Pork Boilin' Poor Boys
- Full Boar
Full Boar is the new release from Jones and his mates. The disc’s songs stretch from Johnny Cash-style country (“Drivin’ into Lincoln”) and loping “drunkytonk” (“Match Made in Milwaukee”) to almost-straight laments such as “Next Time You See Me (I’ll be Dead)”. Full Boar also sports revved-up hillbilly rock (“Goin’ into Town”), a fall-on-the-floor weeper (“Now We Barely Pass for a Couple”) and giddy, down-home goodies such as “Mighty Fine” and “I Got over You (When You Got Under Him)”. A backporch reworking of Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion” continues the group’s tradition of “Porkestrated” rock tunes. National and regional guests on the disc include Mary Huff (vocalist/bassist for Southern Culture on the Skids), John Magnie (the subdudes and 3 Twins) and Dick Meis (Denver Joe & the Saddle Tramps). There’s also an appearance by the “Mile High Bar Star Choir”, a posse of Denver country and alt-country artists that sing on Full Boar’s finale, “Drinkin’ in Every Bar in Town”.

Oakhurst - Dual Mono
Dual Mono is a one hell of a record with deep Appalachian roots and highly original songs that fuse traditional bluegrass with indie-rock and a citybilly attitude. The band's sound is more rustic and rocking, and less jazzy and jammed, than the typical hybrid bluegrass found in the Rocky Mountain region. Dual Mono was recorded in novel fashion at locations across the state, including a cabin down in Walsenberg, Colorado. Three tracks ("Moonshine Still", "JR's" & "Hit the Road") were recorded there during a 3-day blizzard, around a cluster of mics in a living room, while the band was snowed in. No overdubs whatsoever."

Oakhurst - Greenhorn
Oakhurst's second studio recording Greenhorn is a mature sophomore effort featuring a toe tapping collection of original tunes that would work equally well in the jukeboxes of a roadhouse or a hippie bar. Greenhorn will be released on Big Bender Records, to which Oakhurst will add a 'Jammier' sound to the label's line up of Colorado's finest roots, and alt. country acts. Greenhorn was created at Colorado Sound Studios, where it was engineered and mixed by Lorne Bregitzer. In addition to countless projects with local artists ranging from the Samples to Hazel Miller, Bregitzer has worked with Yonder Mountain String Band, Blues Traveler and Eminem. Oakhurst produced the recording. The CD release party itself will be an extravaganza featuring the Ooh La La burlesque dance troupe and a very special guest T.B.A..

Old Bull - Manifesto
Old Bull is like a deep drink of Kentucky Bourbon followed by a long hit of homegrown. This here "Southern California Slamgrass" is honest, raw and un-pretentious. Like White Lightnin' on a disc, the new album, "Manifesto" is a potent collection of anthems for an upside-down America which delivers the goods and them some for those who crave a powerful new yet traditional sound emboldened by heartfelt conviction.
The lead track, "Growerman," takes the moonshine song into a modern context with it's homegrown message of rugged individualism and one man's journey to grow medicinal marijuana.... or die trying.

01. Growerman

Railbenders - Southbound
Their songs tell tales of boozin', love gone wrong, and just plain ol' raisin' hell. SOUTHBOUND includes standout tracks such as Texas Sun, There Was A Time, Minus One, the drinking anthem Whiskey Saturday Night, and the ever-popular crowd favorite cover version of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train, which incidentally, was recorded and released long before the "Osbournes" ever aired on MTV.

Railbenders - Segundo
The Railbenders new Segundo (Big Bender) is a thrilling collection of tough, catchy, against-the-mainstream country music. The follow-up to the Denver, Colorado band's acclaimed Southbound (a Denver Post "Top Local CD of 2001" selection), Segundo showcases the Railbenders' grasp of the essential charms of the music of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. "We take the no-nonsense sound of Seventies-style country," says Railbenders vocalist and guitarist Jim Dalton, "and throw in a few shots of rock & roll for a little extra kick." On Segundo, Jim Dalton (vocals and guitars) and his bandmates (standup bassist Tyson Murray, drummer Graham Haworth) deliver a straight-no-chaser batch of songs, nine of them originals. The songs stretch from hard honky tonk and rocking alt-country to western weepers and clever, re-worked covers. The songs trade in the themes of drinking, heartbreak and chasing a good time, subjects that hit home with the Railbenders' barroom audiences.
