It's late-summer 2005 and the heat in Muscle Shoals, Alabama is well into the triple digits. While most are inside with the air conditioning on 65, four locals are locked in the middle office of an auto body shop on Hwy 72, sweating it out with the tools of their trade. Since the Muscle Shoals Sound of the 1960's the Shoals have seen artist come and go, but never like this. This was something fresh. True, stripped down Rock n' Roll and Blues echoes along the highway mixing with the engines of the thousands of automobiles passing by with little or no notice. This new chapter is named Sons of Roswell.

As the weather cooled and the leaves faded from the trees, the 4 members set out on their mission of Rock n' Roll dominance. There was nothing in the area that could compare to the Earth shattering vocals of Kevin Keenum or the rock n' roll revival riffs of Keenum and guitarist Jay Burgess. Add to that the thunder of sound radiating from J.D. McCorkle's fort of drums, mixed with the strong and steady backbone provided by Chris James on bass to get the perfect combination. Sons of Roswell paved a road all their own to escape the confines of the town that is as worn out as the records it once produced. Mixing their own unique style with hints of those who came before, from the Who and Zeppelin, to the sounds of the area's past.

Sons of Roswell Spent most of 2006 in the studio and playing around the Southeastern US. Now with the release of their debut full length album, the band is on a mission. From Muscle Shoals to the rest of the world, the time has come for Rock n' Roll to prevail. There is no better time than now. Sons of Roswell has arrived.

Here's what some of the people we have been working with have been saying about us...

"Sons of Roswell rock with echoes of the past and bright originality. Great songs with memorable hooks. I love this band!"

-Jimmy Nutt, Studio Engineer (Drive-By Truckers, Jimmy Buffet, John Paul White and more)

"Sons of Roswell delivers a sound both comfortably classic, yet
refreshingly distinct. Simply put...These Guys Rock!"

-Chad Green, ASCAP Nashville Membership Representative

"Sons of Roswell, a quartet that takes the Black Crowes' blues-rock formula and spikes it with hillbilly moonshine."

-www.macon.com

"The Sons of Roswell know how to make songs sound contemporary without delving into the 70's rock pastiche that so many artists imitate. It's pretty apparent that living in the shadows of Muscle Shoals recording legends didn't intimidate the four members of The Sons, and perhaps some of that Southern magic rubbed off on the band while in the recording studio. With a fantastic debut album and some terrific, visceral tracks, it won't take long for The Sons to get noticed by record executives."

-Andrei Bulawka, www.cdreviews.com
