The album is 10 tracks, 9 originals and a song by Billy Ed Wheeler. I played drums, bass, banjo, harmonica as well as vocals and guitar. In addition, there's some incredible guest musicians who helped me out to make it all sound rocking. I'm proud of how it turned out. I recorded it at Loom studios in Birstall, Leeds, with a great guy called Grant Henderson.

A few of the songs are about depression and coming through bad times, some are just about living how you want and one is dedicated to the victims of the fire at the Bradford City Stadium in the 80's, where 56 were killed. Sarah wrote the lyrics to that one.

It's dedicated to my wife, my family and my friends, in particular, Charlie Speed. I couldn't have made it through, never mind an album, without any of you.

I hope you enjoy it.

The amazing new album by The Burner Band.

Including the singles Dark and Lonesome Street & Hot Dog King. The latter tells the true story of Dan Rossi, a famous New York hot dog vendor who fought against unjust licencing laws. The album artwork was created by JD Wilkes, of Kentucky band The Legendary Shack Shakers.


"Shockingly good romping and stomping country roots. This album positively throbs with energy and is a great example of the Americana/Roots scene that's coming out of West Yorkshire at the moment (Think Sam Barrett / X-Ray Cat et al). This isn't a flash in the pan though since these guys have been putting in the chops over years now so we have some damn authentic playing, superb songwriting and awesomely produced recordings. Buy this record, see em' live and see what all the fuss is about!" - Jumbo Records
