Sounds Like: From the Stutting Duck on 10/24/08:
We are proud to welcome Lee county's most talented new group to the Duck. County Road 12 is quickly building a large fan base in Auburn, especially on Wire Road. First time listeners to CR12 would be surprised to know that these guys have only been together for about a year and a half. Matt "bring the pain" Cain and Paul "too tall" Goins form the core of the band both playing guitar and each bringing distinct vocals that are uncharicteristically honest for today's younger performers. Swapping leads on an eclectic mix of crowd pleasers, covers that you never hear anyone else do, and strong origional pieces , the pair of tunesmiths will keep the ladies singing along and grooving to the beat, and the guys hollering and whistling. The band also includes Kenny "downtown" Brown, a double peadal steel magician who helps give CR12 an authentic country feel and brings that extra sound at just the right time giving everybody goosebumps. Jeremy "slammin" Hammons keeps the solid beat and gives CR12 a backbone of measure. Some nights, Kevin "harpman" Hudson shows up and harmonicinizes with the band. Kevin brings greasy blues that only a dedicated mouthharp player can, soaring with the group in amazing flights in which Paul's awesome pipes, Kenny's ghostly steel, Matt's solid guitar, and Kevin's bluesharp combine to lift everyone up, giving us all a taste of bieng a part of somthing great. These guys love playing together, and it shows.CR12 and friends have featured songwriting legend Tony Brook, guitar virtuoso Kurt Richardson, Kenny Heard, Atlanta's fiddle-wizard Wayne Henderson, and other popular Auburn musicians.-Neal KellyLive from the Strutting Duck Dec. 1stCounty Rd. 12 on the base and drums with Tony Brook and Jolly!
