Liner notes from Moonee Valley Drifters

MOONEE VALLEY DRIFTERS

If you're looking for country and cajun, go no further! This is the album! We're about to take you boppin' with the Moonee Valley Drifters album number 3.

We've written some of the songs ourselves, and we've taken inspiration from some of the giants: Johnny Horton, George Jones and Buck Owens.

We recorded this one over two days at Newmarket Studios (thanx James & Chris), and you'll hear a couple of our 'new boys' for the first time: Ashley on lead guitar and Jeremy on drums.

Stomp the boards to it, or just pat your foot to it. One thing's for sure: you won't sit still.

Yaahhoo! Here's the Moonee Valley Drifters!
