Funky Nashville

Kings of Highway Groove

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Funky Nashville is the sound of the dead-dry silence of the desert mixed with the roar of the sea. It is the whiz from the never ending highway, and it's the moment between night and day where anything can happen. Funky Nashville captures body and soul through melodiuos pop songs supported by crisp funky beats, and sprinkled with elements of country, rock'n'roll, soul and blues. One groovy mixture that creates that special Funky Nashville sound.
PRESS QUOTES
It’s a brilliant effort, one that deserves to break through into the American radio market in a big way. To overlook Hitch A Ride would be a massive mistake. Here’s hoping this won’t be the best album of 2006 no one hears. - 72 HRS ONLINE
You are driving down Route 66 with the sun shining overhead, a bead of sweat making its way from your forehead to your ear and carcasses of snakes baking below your radial tires. This is the aura that Funky Nashville creates. - TWANGVILLE
Hitch A Ride is one of those CDs that you will want to listen to over and over again. - ROCK N WOLRD
Maybe this all sounds like a great big mess. Well, it's anything but. In fact, it's rather undeniably beguiling. And leave it to three guys from Denmark to do the Americana thing better than just about any American you could name. - PLAGUE OF ANGELS
the albums they're putting out are very different from everything the indie scene represents right now. it's not obscure, there are no electronic beeps or blips, and not even any synths. it's pure rock, with classic influences and deep deep roots quite obviously implanted in the rich rock history of their Tennesse namesake. - NOISE FOR TOASTER
Funky Nashville are neither funky, nor Nashville-sounding. But with horn accentuations, lush background vocals, and a cool, sauntering lyrical delivery set to a Wild West galloping drum beat, Hitch a Ride's title track single kicks off the Denmark group's first American debut with influences galore. - PERFECT PORRIDGE
Beginning with a desert rock cowboy riff and shifting gears into a pop-rock nod to Brit-pop with haunting vocals, Funky Nashville has all the chops. - SMOTHER MAGAZINE
This track from Danish band Funky Nashville sounds like it belongs on a Taratino score. Except vocalist Sverre Stein Nielsen kind of reminds me of an indie pop version of James Taylor.. - THE LARRY PAGE
Presenting with a concept recalling the Peter Gunn Theme and Quentin Tarantino movie soundtrack choices, there's a distinct romance with the Old West flavoring the album and certainly serving as a muse. Add this fascination to a Britpop influence, and the result is most certainly unique. - INSIDE PULSE
I believe that there are many here, in America who truly enjoy a strong country song, even a pop-country song, but are deluded due to the demonizing influence that Clear Channel and other corporate influences have had on the genre. And for those people, Funky Nashville will sound like a true domestic slice of Americana, despite in reality being far from it. - CULTURE BULLY
