We have 3 new songs out at http://www.countryneers.com/ It was impossible to feel at home and relax in the studio environment and we made just about every mistake there is, but we enjoy our hobby anyway.

| Hi Anders, I'm not a professional studio player,..write songs for a hobby. Listened to cut #1, four times. Liked it a lot, but two things I'd like to hear.... I think the steel should be cut from the mix for the first 16-measures. Think the first 7-measures of the steel fill should be redubbed. Then could release as a single. Just an opinion, don't mean to be critical. |

Hey Anders, I just listened to "Don't Let The Sun Go Down" and I was so enthused, I had to tell you right now that it's magnificant. The odd thing is, I didn't know you were in Sweden, and I hollered to my wife, "Listen to the vocalist, doesn't she sound like ABBA"? Is that coincidental or not!!!!!!
Keep up the excellent work. I'm back to listening now to the others. George |

Thanks everybody for your comments!
We're just a bunch of very unproffessional amateurs who come together and play whenever we happen to have time to sneak away from work, family, kids and home duties for a while and that's not too often, so we are chronically under-rehearsed. More experienced picker's opinions are therefore very welcome.
We have no CD our yet but we should have had if we'd had had the time to record one. Us amateurs are not time-efficient in the studio! But we've had plans for it for years, so I hope we'll cut a full length CD within a yar or two. We've talked about it for so long now.
Be sure I'll tell the Forum then!
Jon; I didn't notice the Snuffy Smith-like guy on the photo before you showed it. I really have no idea who he could be - maybe an occationally high-octaned local poacher, eh..? Doesn't it look like he wears a foxhead cap?
Those shindig audiences are alike all over the world so you never know who you play for, but if you're used to wild honky-tonk audiences in the US dance hall belt you'll feel at home amongst them here too (LOL).
Maybe all swedish bands might sound a bit like each others here and there because of some obscure cultural reasons - I don't know, really. But our singer Annica Sillars (Annica Östlund before she ran into an irresistible scotsman the other year) certainly is a real talent and is already guilty of some good songwriting.
Stephan - please clap your lawma friendly from the entire Countryneers!
Thanks everybody! Kind of you to take time to listen and comment!

This was way better than I dared to hope for! So many amateur bands - especially in these parts of the world - sound quite amateurish, like a bunch of "X-factor" rejects, but not this gang! Good songs, well mixed,and some really cool extended E9th licks from you, Anders. Wish I was half this good. Väry najs, fågelbajs!

Thanks a lot, Per! It's good for uour self confidence, hehe!
We only play for fun and the love for country music and we enjoy it anyway even though it's lousy business economywise. We've spent a lot more money on equipment than we have gotten back in pay for gigs. I guess most amateur country bands outside the US are in the same position. Most hobbies are expensive but fun!
Long live country music!

Thanks a lot, Larry! We play all we can and some we can't, and it's good to hear from people who appreciate our music!
Jon - I have to say that my fantasies carried me astray when I tried to find our who the foxhead cap guy in your picture is; in fact he's Lennart Larsson, the cook in the swedish show band Peacemakers http://www.peacemakers.nu/ and a total absteiner and thus extremely sober at all times. If I'm lucky he might still be a poacher, though, but I no longer dare to accuse him publically for that.
(I've always thought that great amounts of alcohol are totally necessary ingredients in everything that has to do with the wild west. In fact I doubt that even the horses were sober, hmm...)
