In this week's episode, we're featuring a 2017 project by Nashville supergroup Sons Of The Palomino - their self titled debut, in fact. Spearheaded by - and the brainchild of - Nashville Songwriter Hall Of Famer Jeffrey Steele, their name refers to the famous Palomino Club in North Hollywood, CA - closed since 1995, but a bastion in it's heyday for much of that West Coast traditional country twang which launched many careers - including Dwight Yoakam, Dale Watson & Lucinda Williams. It was after Jeffrey Steele accumulated a bunch of songs dubbed "too country" for country radio that he decided to make this album: thus, it's fair to say it's a melange of styles - there's shuffles, barroom weepers, raucous honky tonkers but all with impeccable musicianship.. Paul Franklin on steel, Glen Worf on bass and Gordon Mote on keys: these are some of Nashville's old hands. Some famous names liked what they heard and got involved as well: there's duets here from Jamey Johnson ("Whiskey Years"), Gretchen Wilson ("Used To Be Country Town") and Emmylou Harris ("Outta This Town") - and they're some of the best from a great release.
