Album Notes

The Calf Branders are all cowboys that brand calves for a living. They got started playing their original music for the tired cowboys and cowgirls after the branding is all done. They perform and write songs about what they do and also about Rodeo, Trucks, being a Country performer in a citified world, and drinking whiskey.

The band is made up of 4 members, (all brothers), that play twangy telecaster guitar, standup slap bass, rhythm guitar, and drums. There are 3 lead vocalists in the band, including Lance Romance aka Big Hank, from the rockabilly band, the Hillbilly Hellcats.
