Well this is it, the day has finally arrived where we can shout from the rooftops all about our new album. To say we are a little excited about this is just massively understated, we love this album and every little facet that goes with it.
ON SUNBURST AND THUMP is our third studio album
Here is the front cover
The worldwide digital multi platform release (apple, amazon, spotify, deezer etc...) will happen on Friday 9th February 2018, but we will be announcing today a VERY SPECIAL PRE-SALE OPTION FOR DECEMBER 2017 ONLY
So there it is, ON SUNBURST AND THUMP, coming real soon
Thank you for your patience.
Craig & John

A quick run down of the summer highlights...we got to play in some of our very favourite places, Almost Blue Dundee, Dreadnought Bathgate, Belladrum, supporting Miracle Glass Company and last but certainly not least Jocktoberfest at the Black Isle Brewery. A truly special summer, thank you to all who came to see us again, and also those that found their way into the Dixie Fried groove, we hope it is one you will enjoy for a long time.
We are desperate to get this album out as we have some great things happening all over it. We have invested everything we can to make it sound as good as we can. Spent many many hours pouring over every detail, from every note and drum beat, to artwork getting the right tone and angle, to even arguing over the bit rate that digital distributors will accept. We are very emotionally attached to this in making it the very best we can, and hope that transfers over to the music.
Release date will be announced in the next month, as we are busy working out some finer details to make it even more special for those that are with us on our journey to our THIRD ALBUM RELEASE !!!
As we have said right from the start...'Keep it Dixie y'all'
It is with absolute great honour to be able to announce some dates we will be doing during October and November with 2 amazing Scottish acts. At present there are 4 dates the length of Scotland, there may be more dates added real soon...
As the above poster shows we are doing 4 shows in Bathgate, Perth, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock (so far), along with Aberdeen's own Full Fat and Kilmarnock's Matt Scott. We are lucky enough to have played a few shows with Matt over the past couple of years and just know this mixture with the absolutely outstanding Full Fat and ourselves are going to leave many people very happy at these live shows.
More details for each night will be on all the social media sites of each artist and also on our own gig page here as well.
Keep it Dixie y'all - but this time with loads of extra calories involved
