Album Notes

To describe singer-songwriter Brent Hoodenpyle’s style of alt country music, you’ll have to listen to just a few of his songs. Whether it’s in the award winning crying-in-your-beer tune such as “Picture Show In My Mind,” a historical story song like “Damn Yankees” or a 1950’s Nashville rocker like “Run Back To Him,” you’ll hear the influences of traditional and alternative country artists such as... Steve Earle, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, and Gram Parsons, just to name a few.

And in his band, you’ll hear the sounds of some of the best country musicians playing today. These guys love what they do and they're darned good at it, too.

The band's led by Scottish born guitarist John Ballantyne. His alt country guitar licks blend effortlessly with the traditional country sounds created by steel guitar and bass player Buddy Carter and veteran rock drummer, Dave Wisneiwski. Put them all together and you’ve got an energetic mix of pure country twang and hard driving roots rock.
