Inspired by many of the genres most timeless artists, West Valley
Highway are reminiscent of an era long gone, yet focused on their
own unique interpretation of country music’s future.
From stripped down Bakersfield shuffles, to lush jazz tinged bar
room ballads, their combination of crystal clear voices, poignant
lyrics, beautiful guitar work, rock solid rhythm and well crafted
songs are what “honky tonk†music is all about.
Their song “I’m that Man†was one of KEXP’s most requested singles
of 2004 and was chosen as the ..1 country album of 2005 by Swingin’
Doors host Don Slack. Featuring bluegrass instrumentation and
stunning precision harmony vocals, “I’m that Man†earned the band
new fans, as well as opening slots for country heavyweights Dale
Watson and Junior Brown.
"One of These Days" was selected to be part of the "Mission
Accomplished" episode of the FX original television series “Over
There†which aired Sept. 7th, 2005.
The year 2006 promises to be a banner year for West Valley Highway.
Look for their full length album due out this February and show dates
in your home town.
“Not only is Marysville the best Northwest honky tonk album released
since [The Souvenirs’] King of Heartache, it’ll likely be one of the
finest honky tonk albums produced this year from anywhere.â€
