The fact that mainstream country music ditched this style for the garbage they play now is a shame! I’m so glad you guys exist and you continue the tradition!

[bystander]

I was shocked to hear you boys were form Sweden! You're more of an American country singer than....well, than all the new country singers today. Well done, I pray you boys go viral. Greeting from America!

[RobCha]

Buck Owens definitely approves of this. Thank you!

[alanoffer]

They have really nailed the sound of the late fifties early sixties . Great stuff guys

This sounds like something that Hank Williams would've written... and I absolutely love it.

Throughout the 1930s many variants of country music arose, including “The Western Swing” that incorporated drums and the steel guitar. As well as the western swing, cowboy films played a very important part in the evolution of this genre of music.

Words cannot express how much I love this band. Bakersfield done relocated to Sweden.

[JLoganville]

Country music is not dead! It just moved to Sweden. Thanks boys--

My dad and his brothers all played guitar when I was a kid.. the oldest brother played steel later on and was in a band in Abq NM where Glen Campbell got his start. These awesome musicians really take me back to when I was a kid hearing my uncles play in their local bands. Thank you for this.. very special.

[ryangentry]

About 49 listens, at this point, thanks boys....even better at 3:27am

Wow! They could sing the phone book and keep me entertained. As a traditional musician myself. This is real country and I definitely approve.

[deadskunk]

This is just like stepping into Floyd's Ice House in 1966. That was on Cullen Street in Houston Tx.

[chadczerny]

It's been made apparent to me time and time again that Scandinavia has a great respect for country music! Love to see that it's popular over there!

[simonmouton]

The Swedes continue to amaze me, Have lots of Swedish ancestors, Very Proud of my Swedish heritage!

[stevecolesc]

[raycleaveley]

Hank would be proud, real country again,

[JoshuaVillines]

Speaking as a native Southerner - you nailed the sound and the vibe! Well done!

[tommcfadden]

Country music's timeless appeal is it's focus on matters of the human condition. It transcends culture, class, and race. A poignant reminder of our shared humanity. Thankful for musicians like these for keeping the flame burning.

[LenTexDIY]

Y'all blow me away with your sound! Keep doing what you do! Some of us still appreciate that old time country!

[atmadsen]

The best goddamned country band on the planet. Hands. Down.
