I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
"Inspired by the lyrics and lives of music legends Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash,four area roughnecks are attempting to walk their own line on the crooked road that is Texas music." The Paris News
"Last up was Miles From Nowhere. Merrol and his merry men brought some country flavor to the close of day two. One of their strongest performances i've seen to date! They love to play and they have that snarl and swagger that always makes for a fun show. The small but always appreciative Shagbark crowd that was there made some real noise. A great ending to a great couple of days of music." Kyle (bigpapa) Shagbark Blues Society
""The entertainment, it goes without saying, was first class. Rachelle Storm and the Rythmadddicts got the early bird attendies moving and warmed up the stage for Miles From Nowhere, a local country group that has just gotten its first recording contract. The band previewed some of the material on its upcoming CD and urged the audience to "contact your local radio stations and request our songs." The audience indicated its approval of that plan of action.SBS Blues News
"2007 is going to see the release of a new Miles From Nowhere CD. Produced by Dan Baird of Georgia Satellites fame, the album is going to have some muscle behind its promotion, thanks to Shiner Records (their new label) being a part of Universal Music Distribution, one of the "Big Four" record companies. Having won the Shiner Rising Star award, MFN has literally been hand picked to represent Texas music by one of the most recognized brands of Texas." Kyle Harris .Place Magazine
"@$%~DAMN you guys are good!!!" Coach Joe Avezzano
"You guys are great." Roger Staubach
Miles From Nowhere finished setting up around 8:30 and began their high energy set. These guys are actually signed to Shiner Records, a sub-label of Palo Duro Records (somebody correct me if I’m wrong). The lead singer talked with a heavy Texas twang, and was quite humorous. The band leaned towards rock and had a ton of energy. I only recall two of the songs they performed, “Mona Sue,†a tune the lead singer informed us was about his wife. He was writing a love song for her, then they began to go through a breakup so he wanted to turn it into a breakup song. In the song he kills his wife and buries her in the backyard: “Well no one’s seen her since / I put her in the backyard by the fence / sometimes late at night / when that moon is shinin’ bright / I go out and I talk too / Mona Sue.†In real life they stayed together and she was at the show last night. The only qualm I had with the band was their rendition of “Folsom Prison Blues.†I enjoyed how they made the song their own and didn’t try to copy Cash, but at the same time it was more screaming than singing. Brody Vercher The 9513 Country music
"Miles from Nowhere is a young country-rock band with a potentially fine future. Bloodline, the group’s second CD, is an attitude filled romp through a youthful, rough-edged, macho land where there’s ample hope for realization, despite all the burned bridges. Among the well-crafted songs is the lead-off title tune, which establishes the idea of a hard-working, proud presence as “another stranger in a strange land.†“(What you gonna do) When I Get Mean†is about exactly what the title says; in “Stand,†a man says goodbye to his pain and misery, but will miss her; in “I Can’t Win,†which is the CD’s purest country song, his baby’s leaving him. “Queen of California†laments his baby’s move to the West Coast, claiming she’s “just another girl to me.†Bloodline was produced by Dan Baird, former lead singer for Georgia Satellites, who adds harmony vocals, electric slide guitar, percussion, and B3 organ to the band’s sound. The CD is a good, fairly consistent listen for a band that could be on the edge of a breakthrough." —Tom Geddie (Buddy Magazine)
"After fixing some minor sound snafus, the self-described hard-rockin’, kick-ass Country band Miles From Nowhere tore through new songs off their 2007 release, Bloodline. Well after midnight the band wrapped up before being beckoned back for not one, but two more songs, and even then those who lingered were left wanting more from the Blossom, Texas outlaws. Displaying his southern hospitality, guitarist Adam Walker thanked each person who exited on his side of stage." Brody Vercher | March 14th, 2008 - The 9513 Country Music
Blossom based country rockers Miles From Nowhere are bound for glory - or at the very least to get your blood pumping when you crank up their second CD, (Bloodline) produced by Dan Baird of the Georgia Satellites. Texas Music Magazine
There are times and moods that call for country music to be a bit rough around the edges and ornery. On Bloodline, Miles From Nowhere deliver on this belief. Echoes of country, rock, the blues and the Outlaw movement mingle together to make this album a contemporary southern rock success. Produced by Dan Baird of Georgia Satellites fame, Bloodline, is full of crunchy guitars that bounce and good ol' boy lyrics that bite.The title track kicks off the album and the rolling guitar intro and vocal delivery demonstrate a strong Neil Young influence. "Give Me the Road" is exactly what one would expect it to be based on the title. Continuing in that vein, like every good southern rock band dating back to the days of Skynyrd, Miles From Nowhere know how to deliver a good power ballad, between boastful batches of bravado. "Faces" fills that role here and does so very well, with perhaps the best lyrics on the album and the hook of: this face in the mirror is getting harder and harder to see. It's a classic tale of being unsure of your past, confused about your future and the difficult task of trying to reconcile the two. "Hard Livin' Man" and "I Can't Win" are honky tonk barn barn burners of songs that harken back to the golden age of 70's Outlaw movement. "Mona Sue" has a plucky bass line and a rocketing chorus featuring Doobie Brother-esue harmonies. While not reinventing the wheel by any stretch of the imagination, Bloodline, illustrates a band delivering an outstanding dose of blues filled southern rock. Miles From Nowhere seem to realize, rightfully so, that sometimes music is just mean't to be fun. When the mood calls for something just a tad bit rowdy and rocking, this might be the record you should reach for. Brad Beheler Lone Star Music Magazine
