Secret Country - Women, Whiskey & Nightlife (2009)

Secret County’s debut full-length, Women, Whiskey and Nightlife, released by Killing Horse Records, is an urbanized update of the Outlaw Country mold created by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, George Jones, and Johnny Cash.

Like a shot from a Colt 45, the record opens with a bang from the explosive Call Yer Man. Well crafted and hook heavy, songs like Too Drunk and Hot Dogs and Cold Beer showcase the band’s ability to rope listeners in with raucous fiddle and four part harmonies. Reminding you of the best/worst night you thought (or wished) you forgot, Secret Country paints pictures of booze induced nights that found you at seedy strip joints (Temptations), in front of a municipal judge (Courthouse), or waking up next to a not-so-special someone (Wrong Girl).

Secret Country is gaining a strong foothold in North Jersey and is ready to spread their tales of Neon-Lighted, Dive-Bar Americana to new audiences through their new CD and energy-packed live shows, which leave audiences begging for another tall shot of their country punk explosion. The secret is out and be sure to catch Secret Country at a cozy watering hole near you soon, or pick up their record, Women, Whiskey and Nightlife, available exclusively through Killing Horse Records.
