Album Notes

The Whiskey River Band™ is an original Connecticut band, playing the finest Southern Rock north of Dixie since 1987. They were 4-time winners of The New Haven Advocate's (local A&E paper) "Best Of" for Southern Rock/Country music - by enough of a landslide to cause them to retire the category for several years in the early 90s. Although they primarily play Southern and Classic Rock, they also incorporate Blues, Funk and Soul into their sets. Over their 20 year career, they've shared the stage with bands like Charlie Daniels, The Outlaws, .38 Special, Johnny Winter and Marshall Tucker and will be opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Doobie Brothers on June 28, 2007. The Whiskey River Band's music is currently on heavy rotation on many internet-based stations and podcasts throughout the world.

Notes on It's About Time:

From the funky rhythms of It's All Good and the Southern rootsiness of Blue Collar Man to the eye-for-an-eye, in-your-face patriotic tribute to the fallen heroes of September 11th, Here Comes Trouble, this disk is sure to satisfy old fans as well as earn new ones. Make no mistake about it: The WRB is a rock band. Having said that, they bring to the table a wide variety of influences - everything from James Brown to Toby Keith to Blackfoot - and meld them into their own unique blend of guitar-driven Southern-fried boogie. Put on your dancing shoes - it's Whiskey Time!
