THE RED DIRT RANGERS!
This is their 25th year of performing, traveling, recording, and writing together and they have come out with a fabulous new CD to celebrate with~ "Lone Chimney."
This album was recorded right down a few dirt roads from where two of the Rangers reside (Lone Chimney, OK) at the home of dear friend and legendary guitarist and Tractors front man- Steve Ripley.
A beautiful setting to work in, the songs took on a breath of inspiration at the Ripley studio. With Porter their official greeter- a border collie dog- to the memorabilia all them in the studio from forty years of Steve's music biz friends and their studio work.
Ranger men John Cooper and Brad Piccolo have also started back up their popular radio show with the help of KOSU, FM on the campus of Oklahoma State University. The show is aired each Sunday at 9pm.
This Thursday evening will be a great time to kick back and enjoy the new and the old songs performed by Coop, Pic, and Ben Hahn. You are also welcome to scoot a boot or two, if you can't find room inside, just step outside and listen thru windows! Jonna Bostain Crane (of The Monument Station) will be serving up cold beverages and savory snacks, Robin Byrd will be selling her amazing 'I think SO!' cupcakes, and we'll have a CD table set up with The Rangers merchandise.
