If we want to get that traditional country sound, we have to do it the old way. “Al came up with the album title and he’s quite the clever man,” adds Goold. “We’re working hard and trying to keep this kind of music going so it’s the perfect name for the album. My mantra is: Everybody knows the tunes and likes the tunes; they just haven’t heard them in a while. People forget they like it but when we play a lot of them suddenly remem- ber. Everyone is welcome to come to our show but if you come we encourage you wear your cowboy boots and hats and your western shirts — it’d be good if we all came decked up — I got a new angel- ic white suit for the show so I’m going to be ready. At our shows you can typically expect people dancing, singing, drinking and hooting and hollering and that’s what it’s all about for us.”
