Ever wondered how that ominous Denver Sound evolved? The new kind of American Country or Folk music that exploded at the beginning of the 90s? Much of it revolved around certain clubs of the Mile High City and a number of bands, one them was The Denver Gentlemen, which was the core for two important bands - 16 Horsepower and Slim Cessna’s Auto Club. Why we are telling you this? Well, as you already have seen, we had the opportunity to talk to Slim Cessna and his fellow band-leader Munly J. Munly and we talked about a lot of things. We also talked about cars (of course), about where to place the band, the American Folk tradition and of course the new album which is the second part of the “Kinnery of Lupercalia” trilogy. The subtitle of the record is “Buell Legion” - and which role the record has in said trilogy, well, Munly gives us some hints. Which ones? Well, see for yourselves! And don’t forget to listen to their new record, which will be out May 31!
