Album Notes

"As a songwriter I like to bare my soul and put all of my emotions and feelings to music", as front man and founder of the Slant 6 Cowboys, Don Whitcher has done just that.
On the debut release for New England based Slant 6 Cowboys, Whitcher has written a collection of songs that carry you the range of human emotion. " Well what can I say? Broken hearts, jail time, a lot of whiskey, women, fighting and violence. I've seen good times and bad, done a lot of traveling. I've played with a lot of great musicians and been influenced by Johnny Cash, Hank and a whole lot more."

In the style of the Old West, the Slant 6 Cowboys break down the door with guns blazing. A take no prisoners attitude and the talent to back it up. The opening track 'Badlands' features the guitar slinging style of Peter James Coonradt....the guys at DiscMakers called him "Jeff Beck goes Country!!" His sensibility for the traditions of Americana Roots music is met with a modern style and blistering presentation. Add the guitar wizardry and gritty vocals of Don Whitcher and this band brings a fresh new oft times angry spirit to Americana music.

It's atalented group of musicians who have honed their craft to a sharp edge without losing sight of the roots of their influence. The songs speak of wide open spaces, love gone bad, whiskey and bad women and good love too....songs about life, the hard way.
