"Fantastic! ...the most dynamic sound I've ever heard, and you've just got to see them live!"
- Shawn Parr - 93.9 KZLA Radio, Los Angeles

"I hate country, but I love you guys!" This statement has become pretty familiar to the Moonshine Mountain Boys. "Every time we play, we convert someone in the audience to country music and leave the club with a slew of new fans," says bassist Tommy Dean. "I've played a lot of country music in my time in a lot of different venues, but I've never been in a project that just pulls people onto the dance floor and wins people over like this one." "Yeah, it's pretty amazing," says lead singer/songwriter Scotty "Boy" McCoy, "we really seem to connect with all age groups by appealing to the older folks with all the country classics, but still clicking with the younger audience by 'kicking it up a notch'."
The debut album from the band is an excellent example of this live energy and instant appeal. In addition to top-notch radio ready material, the album completely captures the charisma and charm of this four-piece band. Featuring veteran players from around L.A., including Stuart Gantt on drums, Paul Jacques on guitar, Tom Dean on bass and Scotty "Boy" McCoy on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, the musicianship on the record is as solid as dried Georgia clay.
From the hilarious and joyus, opening honky-tonk sing-a-long "Better by the Beer" to the final fade of the jazzy "Carolina Blue", this album has all the earmarks of success. Including a slew of danceable numbers like the band's thematic salute to country rock "Double Shot", the feisty "Tired", and their new and improved rocked up version of "Sixteen Tons", the album also features two radio friendly pop/country numbers "One More Road" and the ballad "Fallen" as well as a terrific slow two step country tune called "Lonesome Whistle". Though every songwriter in America penned something after the 9/11 tragedy, the record also has it's own very well written and thoughtful memorial entitled "The Day I Learned to Sing the Blues".
The variety and integrity of this record speaks loud and clear. Their batch of country rock white lightening is as smooth as it is intense. Take a swig, and soon you too just may find yourself dancin' in the aisles and singing praise to the Moonshine Mountain Boys!

author: Kristy AaronI bought the CD Friday and have not stopped playing it! The boys rock 16 tons like nobody's business! Better by the Beer, Tired, and Double Shot should all go platnum in no time. Watch out George T. and Hank W. Jr. The Moonshine Mountain Boys are fixin' to give you a run for your money!
Just blew me away
author: Darren LewisThis is probably the best country rock band i've ever heard. Every song has it's own style but each and every one just kicks you in the gut. Very, very talented. If these guys don't make it to the top then I will be very suprised.
Amazing and jaw dropping
author: Julio C. LopezThis Cd is really great. There maybe lots of groups out there is the country blue grass category but M.M.B. is the best I have heard in a long time thank you to the band for making this cd. I'll be waiting for the next one.
The Music I was waiting for
author: Tim RussellI'm 64 years old and loved this CD it reminds me of some good old fashioned R&R. The country overtones made it a hit with me will by next CD.

author: SamI heard about it from a friend at a bar I visit. He had nothing but good things to say about it, he played it for me & I was hooked from the first song!! It makes u tap ur foot along with the music. I ordered my own cd & listen to it faithfully!!
Wow!
author: janelleThis CD is great. I am as far away from a country fan as you can get...but I love this CD. I am constantly playing it over and over again..it is just amazing.
great cd
author: Travis BryanThis cd is a great one. Its rare to have a new band that sings original songs. Even their only remake of "Sixteen tons" is incredible. I liked it so much that I talked to the manager of a bar that I go to all the time and told them that they should invite them to play there. I also played it for all my friends which caused them to order their own cd's. I am very satisfied with my new cd.
