THE NEW NATE GIBSON & THE GASHOUSE GANG CD: ALL THE WAY HOME
Howdy there friends and neighbors! Very exciting news... The Gang's new masterpiece, All the Way Home, is finally done and is available for a measly $12 US dollars + $2 shipping (within the US). Click the buy it now Paypal button above to start the fun!!
The album is the result of Nate's four years of research into Starday Records and is dedicated to his friend Don Pierce, Starday President and Co-Founder, who wrote and recorded an introduction and liner notes for the record just two weeks before his passing in April of 2005. Don played a pivotal role in country music history, jump-starting the careers of George Jones, Dottie West, Jimmy Dean, Willie Nelson, Roger Miller and countless others, and it is a huge honor to have him be a part of our newest record. Aside from Don's musings, the record also features covers of several Starday tunes including 'My Heart Gets Lonely' by Eddie Skelton, Sleepy Jeffer's 'My Blackbirds Are Bluebirds Now' and Wayne Raney's anthemic 'We Need A Whole Lot More of Jesus (And A Lot Less Rock and Roll)' as well as quite a few Gibson originals.
Featured musicians on the record include the Gashouse Gang you've come to know and love: Nate Gibson, Jeffrey Herring (Two Timin' Three), Jon Johnson (Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys, Bourbonaires) and Tommy Long (Dogmatics, Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys). Also in attendance to help rock the masses were Rich Gilbert (Frank Black, the Blackstone Valley Sinners, Human Sexual Response, Zulus) on steel guitar, Steve Toebes (Bombastics) on piano, Lynette Lynker's sweet vocals (Stumbleweeds, Country Bumpkins), Travis 'Daddy-O' Quam (Wal-Mart Three) and his amazing melodica, and Kevin Stevenson's not-so-sweet vocals (Shods). The album was recorded and mixed at Appleman Studios in Stoneham, MA by Chris 'Cujo' Cugini (Blizzard of '78, Anastasia Screamed) with additional recording by Phil Aiken (Buffalo Tom, Phil Aiken Army) and Clyde Beavers (Mercury-Starday recording artist!)
Gigs are starting to present themselves faster than we can react so check back often and we'll have some more shows for all you good people out there.
Our website (www.nathandgibson.com), designed by our good friend Garet McIntyre, is now up and features all sorts of things related to the Gang and their merchandise as well as details on Nate's Starday book: The House That Country Music Built-- the Starday Story. Heck, you'll even be locked in to the 101 Pirate Jokes jokebook goings ons, Trolley Life and everything else Gashouse-related.
In the meantime, if you don't already have the first Gashouse Gang record, you should buy it. Really, we think it's pretty good. Aside from the Gang's usual raucous honky-tonk, you'll also be treated to two songs with New England country music legend Rex Trailer (Host of Boomtown USA) and also two with Starday recording artist and King of the Yodelers, Kenny Roberts!!!
The debut release features Gibson, Tom Umberger (Racketeers, Kim Lenz, Stumbleweeds) on lead guitar, Dana Stewart (Racketeers) keeping the beat, and our beloved Jon Johnson on upright bass. Special guests include Chris Toppin (Fuzzy), Liam Crill (Kings of Nuthin'), Chris Debarge (The Curses, Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys), Phil Aiken (Buffalo Tom, Crown Victoria, Phil Aiken Army) and several more! Recorded and mixed by music wizard Rob Lowe in Boston, MA. Includes 'She Won't Wear A Bra (Cause She Don't Need It),' 'I Can't Sell My Broken Heart On eBay,' I Don't Need Liquor For A Good Time (I Need Liquor To Survive)' and several other Nate Gibson originals with long titles. You can buy it right here for only $12 + $2 (shipping) and you don't even need a Paypal account! What a bargain!
And while you're at it, why not buy 101 Pirate Jokes as well? Only $4 + $2 (shipping) on its own, or you can just add $4 to your CD order for both! It'll make you laugh. It'll make you cry. It'll make you want your $6 back! Over 96 witty pirate jokes (and about 17 which leave something more to be desired) written by Nate Gibson and Tim Barney and illustriously illustrated by Bradley Smith. ARRR, matey, put it in the bag!
Thanks so much for stopping by and please come see us soon!
Country Musically,
The Gashouse Gang
