About the Artist
Don Witcher: A native New Englander leads the band, The Slant Six Cowboys, and had these things to say about his life.

"My earliest recollections are of my dad coming in after a hard day of work on his farm, picking up his beat up old Silvertone guitar and playin’ Hank and Johnny Cash. He instilled me with a love for the roots music of America." "As a songwriter I try to bare my soul and put my feelings and emotions to music." "I believe music is a good way to bring to share positive energy and bring people together. I’m living out my dreams with this great band. Life is GOOD!!!"

Peter Coonradt: The Slant Six Cowboys secret weapon… Peter is a multi–instrumentalist, whose ability to hop from guitar to banjo to mandolin keeps changing the flavor of musical stew. Influenced by a country and western guitar - playing grandfather, peter took up guitar as a young teenager. After the usual voyage thru rock and roll, Peter rediscovered his roots and country music when he hooked up with Don about three years ago. His ideas, musicality, and stunning chops are an integral part of the Slant Six Cowboys.

Product Description
"As a songwriter I like to bare my soul and put all of my emotions and feelings to music", as front man and founder of the Slant 6 Cowboys, Don Whitcher has done just that. On the debut release for New England based Slant 6 Cowboys, Whitcher has written a collection of songs that carry you the range of human emotion. " Well what can I say? Broken hearts, jail time, a lot of whiskey, women, fighting and violence. I’ve seen good times and bad, done a lot of traveling. I’ve played with a lot of great musicians and been influenced by Johnny Cash, Hank and a whole lot more."

In the style of the Old West, the Slant 6 Cowboys break down the door with guns blazing. A take no prisoners attitude and the talent to back it up. The opening track ‘Badlands’ features the guitar slinging style of Peter James Coonradt….the guys at DiscMakers called him "Jeff Beck goes Country!!" His sensibility for the traditions of Americana Roots music is met with a modern style and blistering presentation. Add the guitar wizardry and gritty vocals of Don Whitcher and this band brings a fresh new oft times angry spirit to Americana music.

It’s atalented group of musicians who have honed their craft to a sharp edge without losing sight of the roots of their influence. The songs speak of wide open spaces, love gone bad, whiskey and bad women and good love too….songs about life, the hard way.

Customer Reviews:

Slant 6 Cowboys - Quality songs since 2001.......2005-02-06

Wow!!! Alternative country at it's absolute best. Forget the nashville puppet show It's time to move up to the real deal.

Great alt. country band.......2004-07-13

Recently I was looking around for something new. Something fresh. I happened to find a band by the name of Slant 6 Cowboys. I checked their website out and liked what I heard. Then I bought the cd and realized just how good these guys are. I was shocked that such a talented band has gone un-noticed by the mass media. I have a feeling though that these guys will be huge soon enough. If you have any taste in good country, then buy this cd for it is well worth the wait, no questions about it. Trust me when I say that you will not be disappointed.
