Howdy again, LEE FORSTER CD LAUNCH - Friday March 23. Lee and his band last played for the Country Music Guild in 2009 so it’s great to have him back again. This is his ONLY show in Melbourne, don’t miss it. For more information go to www.northwestfm.org/countrymusicguild
Here is Lee’s Press Release: “Longnecks and Rednecks” is the title to my latest album. To some it will be self explanatory, however, to others, they will say “what the”? Stuie French has produced all of my previous recordings. Including “Keep Safe on the Track” which had numerous Top Five singles on it as well as my number two hit “The Good Tones”. Now, not only has Stuie produced my new album we have made it a duet album.
Stuie and I are traditionalists when it comes to country music. We love the old stuff, especially Merle Haggard, George Jones, Buck Owens and Slim Dusty. So I was chuffed when he said yes to putting together an album of old songs. However we decided on finding some of our favourite drinking party songs. It was fun finding them, writing a couple ourselves and then recording them with some of the best players in Australia.
So “Longnecks and Rednecks” is simple. Longnecks for the drinking and rednecks are some of these great old singers who had some real redneck songs back when. We would admit there is a bit of Redneck in us both and we don’t mind a longneck or two either.
After the great responses from other drinking song releases like “Drinkin Bone”, “Fire in the Bar” and “Drink up and be Somebody”, I felt an album of these songs would be awesome to record. “Barroom Buddies” is the first single from this Brand New album. Barroom Buddies, sums up most Aussie fellas. They always have a wingman and enjoy each other’s company. It is sure to be played at many parties, BBQs and anywhere Aussies like to get together for amusing shindigs.
I hope you get the chance to listen to “Longnecks and Rednecks” and the first single “ Barroom Buddies”, which is being released this month on Country Radio Stations.
