Synopsis

Album Description
It was October 1998 when Bryan Cohen decided he had to find a band that could deliver nervy powerhouse rockers and the intimacy of longing country ditties for his solo album. He recruited his friend Robert Schermerhorn of the band Tumble to supply the drumming. Robert invited Tumble bandmate Paul Christofferson to join and we began a roto-rooting of the material. Using one four track recorder, we whittled down the songs down and got ready to record. Alas, something was missing... The missing link was Smokelahoma's Ryan Mefferd, a lead guitar player who could sing harmonies and play depraved lead guitar on the country material and on the rockers. With some more work the quartet went into the studio in January 1999 and recorded what became "Gone Awry". "Gone Awry" runs the gamut from pop rock anthems to aching country tunes about loss, grief, and growing up. The common thread running through these songs is choruses that make you sing and feel. "I wanted to make a record that had the soul of the Replacements, the hooks of Mathew Sweet, and the lyricism of Steve Earle. I don't know if we got there but it was sure fun trying," comments Bryan Cohen.
