Simmons is joined by his long time backing band; The Twisted Halos: (Dave Coleman, Duane Blevins, Tim Blankenship) for the first time in Europe. Recorded on tour in Norderstedt, Germany and covering material from Simmons' ten studio albums in front of an intimate audience. Simmons music "mixes the twang of country music — a genre that provided the soundtrack for his childhood in small-town Tennessee — with the sharp observations of a singer/songwriter and the stomp of rural, roadhouse rock & roll." -Andrew Leahey “a singer-songwriter of marked depth and commitment, (he) recalls a more subdued Steve Earle, a more grounded Ryan Adams and any aggregation of three-named Texas troubadours you’d care to recall.” – — Bill Friskics-Warren, THE NASHVILLE SCENE “…not many singers achieve such a confident, full-bodied sound while delivering conversational confessions.” – — Geoffrey Himes , THE WASHINGTON POST “Vivid, intelligent and soulful.” – Rob Hughes, UNCUT (UK) “…he’s a Bible Belt barstool philosopher singing of sin and redemption. Intelligent, intense, and easy to like.” – – Sylvie Simmons, MOJO (UK) CREDITS: Stephen Simmons: vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica Dave Coleman: electric guitar, backing vocals Tim Blankenship: drums Duane Blevins: bass guitar, backing vocals Recorded by: Wolfgang Sedlatschek at Music Star: Norderstedt, Germany on November 10th and 11th, 2014 Mixed and Engineered by: Eric Fritsch: Eastwood Studios Mastered by: Alex McCollough: True East Mastering Photo: Alexander Hanke (Real Music e.V.)
