Album Notes

Mike Smith and His Cadillac Cowboys have been playing together in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan, in one form or another, since the early 70's and have enjoyed a loyal following through the years.

The band plays a mix of Western Swing, Classic Country, Boogie Woogie and Rock 'n' Roll, a conglomerate style which has been referred to as "Swing 'n' Roll".

It is rumored that once Anton Scalia rolled his eyes when he heard "Swing and Roll." "Those Cowboys are so cool," he said, they must be synthesizing the emotion, the time and the beat into what I would call 'Adult Saloon' music for the discriminating adult with a beer in his or her hand." In short, good time music.

The Cowboys have thrived all these years playing in local joints and at local shindigs. A band to be seen and heard. So, in an effort to recreate the typical Cadillac Cowboys listening experience, the tunes were recorded with no overdubbing, no punch-ins, no re-dos.

This CD is a live in the studio recording.

As a listener, to do your part faithfully, simply turn it up, sit back, and sip a beverage of your choice.
