CD Reviews

Where has Pistol River been?

M. Coldiron | Billings, Montana | 03/12/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've heard of some of these guys in Pistol River, but I've never heard any music or story like this before. There's no doubt this is the most unique concept album in any market. Western fans will love the setting and the characters; music fans will be exicted about the diversity of this music and those who like story songs will find nothing better than the "Opera." The inserts and photographs in the CD and on the web site round out all the various characters. It's no wonder that Pistol River and the Ballad is nominated for an AWA right out of the chute!"
