Pistol River does it again with clever writing, solid playing and chic production of a concept project creating a musical journey through emotional highs, lows and eras – an energetic and fun filled roller coaster of musical prosody!

Often writing and recording projects are immersed with past musical infl uences and other times they are merely peppered with them. This project is both – with a twist and a respectful pastiche acknowledging the vast infl uence of those groups and era.

Few musical influences left more of an imprint than Elvis, the Beatles and the Beach Boys. The spirit and sounds of what they created lingers in the background of most every song written that hints of summer, younger days and early rock and roll.

"Pistol River has kicked around the roots of country and contemporary western music for years as they carved out a niche clever enough to always keep you interested and remarkable enough to always make you want to listen closely to every song." - The Music Emporium

"Memorable, haunting, dark orchestration, ominous rhythms and propulsive harmonics cap this lofty project consisting of extended interpolation of the eras and sounds of the Beatles, Elvis, The Beach Boys, straight forward rock and picturesque country stylings that will make you feel like your living the songs." - Harp

"To say I was impressed by this new project does not even come close. I was truly transported from misty eyes to toe-tapping and found myself listening a second, third and fourth time to the ambiance, production and lyrics all painting the portrait and balancing the concept of the message of the title track, Gentle Winds" - Dallas Gregory, Song Rocket Music, Nashville
