Touring and performing together for nearly two decades, America's premiere hot jazz and Western swing trio Hot Club of Cowtown releases "Midnight on the Trail," their ninth studio album, on February 9, 2016.
The Hot Club of Cowtown's new album MIDNIGHT ON THE TRAIL features 12 classic Western swing songs and traditional cowboy ballads written by Bob Wills, Johnny Mercer, Cindy Walker, Gene Autry and more. Utterly danceable and steeped in the romance of the American west, this hand-picked collection truly reflects the spirit and joy of the Cowtown of the Imagination, a source of inspiration for the band since it first began. Hot Club of Cowtown sizzle through Mercer's "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)" and the Bob Wills standard "Take Me Back to Tulsa," then cast a spell under a starry western sky with ballads from "Silver on the Sage" to Gene Autry's "There's an Empty Cot in the Bunkhouse Tonight."
This romantic and rustic collection will compel you to roll up the rug ("Oh, Mona," "Cotton Eyed Joe," "Next to the Soil"), then slow dance to the old fashioned elegance of Cindy Walker's "Blue Bonnet Lane," Billy Hill's "Call of the Canyon," and perhaps yearn to meet a lost love again one day by "An Old Watermill by a Waterfall."
