Search - The Textones :: Old Stone Gang

After a 30+ year hiatus, The Textones have reunited and delivered a new studio album, Old Stone Gang, the follow up to their 80's releases Midnight Mission (1984) and Cedar Creek (1987) both released on A&M Records. The new album once again shows the tenacity of a band with a long history, one of considerable achievement in the face of some tough breaks. The Textones are, in vocalist/guitarist Carla Olson's words "A hard-rockin' The-Who-Meets-The Stones kind of band, with a little Byrds or Beatles jangle thrown in." "I think the new album is just as viable and important and relevant as 'Midnight Mission' and 'Cedar Creek.' It sounds similar to what we used to do, but of course we are now older and supposedly wiser [laughs], and I like to think a little more sage."
