Sounds Like: SOME REVIEWS...
"This is the kind of music where the performers are so good, and so clearly having a blast with what they’re doing, that the mood is infectious."
- Audio Video Revolution
"...the band just sounds right, the aural equivalent of a cold drink after a long, hot day.... the listener is left hungry for more original material from this quaint but exciting band."
- Dissolver Magazine
"The
Dust Bowl Cavaliers stir up a brew of rusty, rebellious, raw and
up-to-no-good whiskey drinking country so naughty that it makes you
giddy. Remimiscent of The Old 97s, Old Crow Medicine Show, Uncle
Tupelo and so forth, their nasal and exceedingly playful approach
spreads a smile on yer face so big your ears will get in the way." (5 Stars!!!)
- CD Baby
"... experiencing the Dust Bowl Cavaliers is like an infectuous high that never goes away! They are irresistable performers and incredible musicians."
- Erica Lane Saylors (Moondance International Film Festival Director)
