Details:
If modern country music has an irascible and reckless cousin whose gut level enthusiasm and indifference to convention is both maddening and contagious, it is the music of Urban Horse Thieves. After three years of writing and performing their own brand of rock-n-roll with a hillbilly twist, UHT culminate their efforts in this, their first full length release on I-Town records. Produced by Nate Silas Richardson of John Brown''s Body, this CD showcases the band''s americana pie inclinations in which country rock is fused with elements of honky tonk, blues, rockabilly, bluegrass, and soul.
Featured on the CD are several talented guest musicians who appear on a number of other I-Town releases and whose presence make this recording truly an I-Town collective effort. Also of note is the band''s use of two primary songwriters whose off-setting styles create an uncommon variety of mood and subject matter. Songs of triumph and heartbreak together tell a tale of passionate Americanism in which hope abides eternal and despair faithfully holds her right hand. Whether the occasion be to raise a glass in defiance of the modern workaday toil or to cry into that glass over love''s refusal to rest easy, Won''t Be Long seems the soundtrack to fit the bill
Urban Horse Thieves are Dustin Stuhr on vocals and guitar, Joseph Rayle on vocals and bass, Lynette Dromsky on vocals and percussion, Charles D''orban on lead guitar, and Tony Cottracia on drums.
