As a display of our technological savoir-faire both of our CDs are now downloadable from iTunes. Download, listen, dance, repeat.
In what you might call the youthful cred department we now have a Facebook Fan Page. Oh, yes. If you are into this kind of thing hit the page and “Become a Fan”. You can hear full cuts from Anywhere West! Just click HERE!
We got through six more tunes which brings the grand total for the new CD to 14, almost an hour of fine musical entertainment. It was a great time and exceeded any of our expectations (which were high). We’ll probably be tweaking, mixing and mastering for another couple of months and then it will be ready to go.
Yes, you can now get the CD online via CD Baby, a wonderful service for selling independent music. Just click on the album cover below. You can also go and just write a nice review if you are so inclined.
Saturday night’s CD Release party at Middle Earth was a hoot and a half! The Roosters debuted their new album to a packed house. The amazing Josh Brooks warmed them up with his beautiful baritone voice and great songwriting. The Roosters played all twelve of their songs on “Out of the Woods” plus a few new original tunes, Roy Cutler’s “Snow on April” and Ted Mortimer’s “One Bad Habit”, which by the way is not associated in any way with the Catholic church.
The guys got down on Neil Young’s “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere”, also they filled the dance floor with a rockin’ version of “Cinnamon Girl”. Colin channeled George Jones on “Treasure of Love” and Ted crooned Dale Watson’s “Truckin’ Man” loud enough to be heard at the P&H Truck Stop. The lovely Linda Boudreault took the stage for two songs and also kept the rhythm guys honest with her righteous cowbell.
CD sales were brisk and the Roosters are now several more peanuts toward “styrofoam” status.
It was reported that five of the Roosters left with Chicks…special thanks to Betsy, Laura, Sara, Linda and Lugene for attending!

“I think we have the potential to go double-styrofoam with this CD this year,” Ted Mortimer was overheard saying at a recent Rooster rehearsal. For those of you not in the business to go styrofoam means CD sales of 1000. For those of you without a calculator double-styrofoam means 2000 units sold. 60Ted Mortimer
