Loud Country!

"Put this CD in the slot, and turn it up! You will be singing every word of Motel Lights after about the third time. Llano Estacado is LOUD country, and you will love it. Matt Martindale, lead singer/song writer, does a great job of telling true Texas tales and capturing the essence of blue-collar existence in this production. His band matches the meaningful lyrics with raucous, toe-tapping sounds and a few wistful tunes, which arrive just in time to cool you off with a slow dance. Whether you are driving down the road or scooting across hardwood at a party, this is one to have close to the CD player. The quality of Grammy winner Ray Benson's production studio is evident throughout this CD. Buy it, then go see them live. You won't regret either."

Best CD I have heard in years!

"This album is awesome! You can really tell that there was an effort put into the writing of the music and lyrics. It's obvious that Cooder Graw (coodergraw.com) is ignoring the Nashville formulae for song writing, and are writing music for which they have feelings for; which is far more appealing than the modern Nashville nonsense. This is one CD that I will never get sick of hearing. Clint Black's guitar player Hayden Nicholas and Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson did a great job producing this album. I am certainly looking forward to the next album."
